It is almost my 35th birthday which causes, as most birthdays do, for me to reflect on my life. It makes me question my decisions and paths I've chosen. Then it makes me wonder about my future and how I will continue to grow.

As I do these things, I sometimes seek out help to some of life's questions. In doing so, I came across an amazing piece of work. It's the book, film and exhibition called "Wisdom." I would highly recommend it to anybody. Here's a little information on the concept:

"Inspired by the idea that one of the greatest gifts one generation can pass to another is the wisdom it has gained from experience, the Wisdom project, produced with cooperation from Archbishop Desmond Tutu, seeks to create a record of a multicultural group of people who have all made their mark on the world. Presented against the same white space, all of the subjects are removed from their context, which not only democratizes them, but also allows for a clear dialogue to exist between them. In an attempt to create a more profound, honest, and truly revealing portrait of these luminaries, the project encompasses their voices, their physical presence, and the written word. This comprehensive portrayal of such a profound and global group is an index of extraordinary perspectives. Wisdom is an ongoing project. Additions to the list of contributors continues."

The project was done by Andrew Zuckerman.

I think one of the reasons why I enjoyed this project so much was that it took one theme, multiple sub plots and then communicated a message that challenges you mentally through multiple communication mediums. I have only seen the movie and read the book. I wish I could have seen the exhibit.

Here's is the teaser to the film. I would also encourage you to visit the website, as it has different video edits explaining the concept and how the project came together. Go to: http://www.wisdombook.org/.
