\u201cNo one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life,\u201d Nietzsche wrote as he reckoned with what it takes to find yourself<\/a>. And yet where would the world be if each generation didn\u2019t plank its crossing with the life-tested wisdom of its elders? Often, that wisdom comes so simply worded as to appear trite \u2014 but it is the simplicity of a children\u2019s book, or of a Zen parable: unvarnished elemental truth about what it means to be alive, hard-won and generously offered. <\/p>\n

That is precisely what Kevin Kelly<\/strong> gathers in Excellent Advice for Living: Wisdom I Wish I\u2019d Known Earlier<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (public library<\/em><\/a>) \u2014 an herbarium of learnings that began as a list he composed on his 68th birthday for his own young-adult children, a list to which he kept adding with each lived year. <\/p>\n
