Hundred: What You Learn in a Lifetime by Valerio Vidali, Heike Faller

3.0

There are many things that I have never—or, at least, have not yet—experienced. Which is why I decided to ask other people what they've learned in life. I talked to elementary school kids and ninety-year-olds; men and women who are much respected in our society as well as those who have lost their status. I sat with the former director-general of an East German company (Kombinat) in his garden in a village not for away from the high-rise buildings of Marzahn, a neighborhood in Berlin, and with a Syrian refugee family on the concrete floor of their basement apartment in Istanbul. The question I asked all these people was always the same: What have you learned in life?
