When confronted by an existential crisis,

noted educator Marlene C. Holayter is drawn into a

journey of personal discovery. As she approaches

retirement, the author is compelled to find the

meaning, purpose, and value in her life. As she

delves into her own story, one door opens to

another, and soon she is exploring the stories of

others.

Drawing on interviews with over one

hundred people, Holayter examines how the

search for what matters, enriches life, and how

each decade becomes a crossroad for the next.

Through the lens of her own journey of growth,

the author reveals insights gleaned from the vast

and varied and yet, sometimes commonly shared

experiences of a wide range of people.

Wisdom is a Journey asks deep questions

about seeking guidance, the power of

connections, and the importance of empathy in

a complex world. By offering perspective

through these collected reflections and lived

lessons, Holayter's book is an opportunity to be

nurtured by others as you walk your own path

toward wisdom.
