Wisdom Is A Journey

When confronted by an existential crisis, noted educator Marlene C. Holayter is drawn into a journey of personal discovery. As she approaches retirement, the author is compelled to find the meaning, purpose, and value in her life. As she delves into her own story, one door opens to another, and soon she is exploring the stories of others. Drawing on interviews with over one hundred people, Holayter examines how the search for what matters, enriches life, and how each decade becomes a crossroad for the next. Through the lens of her own journey of growth, the author reveals insights gleaned from the vast and varied and yet, sometimes commonly shared experiences of a wide range of people. Wisdom is a Journey asks deep questions about seeking guidance, the power of connections, and the importance of empathy in a complex world. By offering perspective through these collected reflections and lived lessons, Holayter's book is an opportunity to be nurtured by others as you walk your own path toward wisdom.
