On one of their trips to India, Vietnam, and Cambodia, authors Jaume Soler and Maria Mercè Conangla discovered and compiled stories and experiences full of small yet valuable pearls of wisdom that have been strung together in this book to form a necklace. The thread that unites each piece is the idea that we must learn to become wise before growing old. There isn’t, as is often said, a direct link between wisdom and old age. Wisdom has nothing to do with the accumulation of years or knowledge, but rather with accepting the mysteries of life and knowing how to remain curious and capable of being surprised. Only then will we live fully and with a profound connection to ourselves, to others, and to the world.
