STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Commission on Aging, The Greenwich Library, At Home
in Greenwich and Compass Care, LLC continue their sponsorship
of the Distinguished Speaker Series on Successful Healthy Aging &
Caregiving. The second talk, “Living and Loving: Advice from the
Oldest (and Wisest) Americans,” will be held this April 21st
at The Greenwich Library at 7:00 pm presented by Karl A. Pillemer. Dr.
Pillemer is a Professor of Human Development at Cornell University and
Professor of Gerontology at the Weill Cornell Medical College. He is the
founder and director of the Cornell Institute for Translational Research
on Aging, a center that uses research to solve the practical problems of
older people. An internationally renowned gerontologist, his research
examines how people develop and change throughout their lives. He has
authored five books, over 100 scientific publications, and speaks
throughout the world on aging-related issues.
In a recent set of studies, Dr. Pillemer set out to learn what older
people know about life that the rest of us don’t. This project led to
the book: 30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the
Wisest Americans. His second book is entitled 30 Lessons for
Loving: Advice from the Wisest Americans on Love, Relationships, and
Marriage. Dr. Pillemer speaks nationally and internationally on the
life-changing potential of advice from elders, and his work has received
extensive media attention, including profiles on the PBS NewsHour, CBS
This Morning, Fox and Friends, and many more.
