There are countless professional development and self-help books from the latest and greatest authors, yet some of the richest sources of wisdom are from the elders living among us.
These people fought in World War II, marched for Civil Rights, and lived through the Prohibition, the Great Depression and countless boom and bust cycles. If you are lucky, you may still have an elder relative, parent or grandparent, someone who can share from their 80-, 90-, even 100-years of walking the path as an executive, parent and spouse.
That’s the driving force behind Dave Romanelli’s mission: to learn from and share the stories and wisdom of our elders before it’s too late. From a 111-year-old woman (born before JFK) whose secret to longevity was “sex, vodka and spicy food” to a 90-year-old Auschwitz survivor who lost all 10 family members in the Holocaust, the elders Dave has met have stories and lessons that are as relevant today in 2018 as they were back in 1906 or 1943.
These elders tend to be lonely and isolated, and would love to share their guidance if only we would listen. Dave is the author of two books which reached #1 on Amazon’s Healthy Living Bestseller list. This topic is the subject of his third book, which is due to be published by Skyhorse in 2018.
