Lessons for Loving - From Those Who've Lived to Tell the Tale
Love Conquers All. Opposites Attract. All You Need is Love. Whoa, lovebirds - not so fast! Karl Pillemer, founder of The Legacy Project at Cornell University, talks to us about the wisdom of the elders. Pillemer crowd-sourced advice from more than 700 people in their 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond about love, romance and sure-fire dealbreakers.
Pillemer is a gerontologist and family sociologist. Karl and his team interviewed more than 700 people - in their 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond to get their best advice on love.
It's all part of the continuing Legacy Project at Cornell. This latest set of interviews is believed to be the most detailed survey of long-time married people ever conducted.
Plus, writer Barbara Nichol explores the murky passage into growing older.
