Dear Legacy Project Readers,

We’re taking a break in the month of July from new posts. If you are new here, there are hundreds of lessons for living from the oldest (and wisest) Americans. The Legacy Project has collected these life lessons from over 1500 people in their 70s, 80s, and beyond. Go to the About this Project page for suggestions on how best to enjoy the practical advice for living you will find here. More information can be found in the book on the Legacy Project: 30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans.

Stay tuned for news about the next step in the Legacy Project. We have collected information from hundreds of long-married elders about getting and staying married. In fact, we’re pouring over those responses this summer (and it’s one reason why we’re taking a break). We’ll be sharing lots of relationship advice from the wisest Americans when we return!

Happy Summer!
