Need advice on love and marriage or on raising children? Now life’s lessons, collected from over 1500 older Americans, are at your fingertips.
The new website is based on the Legacy Project, led by Karl Pillemer, professor in the department of human development and Associate Dean of Outreach and Extension in the College of Human Ecology. Over the past six years, the project team collected advice from seniors across New York State and beyond. They compiled answers to the question: “What are the most important lessons you feel you have learned through the course of your life, i.e. what kinds of advice would you like to give to younger generations?” The result: thousands of pearls of wisdom on a wide range of topics, including love and marriage, work and career, child-rearing, finding a purpose in life, dealing with aging and the end of life, and many others.
