Advice from my eighty-year-old self : real words of wisdom from people ages 7 to 88

1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 27 cm

What advice would your 80-year-old self give you? That is the question artist Susan O'Malley, who was herself to die far too young, asked more than a hundred ordinary people of every age, from every walk of life. She then transformed their responses into vibrant text-based images. From a prompt to do things that matter to your heart, to a reminder that it's okay to have sugar in your tea, these are calls to action and words to live by - heartfelt, sometimes humorous, and always fiercely compassionate. This stirring celebration of our collective humanity unveils the wisdom we hold inside ourselves right now. Susan O'Malley (1976–2015) was an internationally exhibited artist and curator based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
