50 Bits of Wisdom for My Grandchildren

The First Native American tradition of elders imparting wisdom to younger generations has no counterpart in contemporary American culture. As a grandfather and as an elder at age 60, I use this book to pass on to my three grandchildren (and other readers) 50 bits of wisdom I have learned from six decades of living in this society. Section I discusses 14 concepts universal to all people, such as âChange,â âSuffering,â and âDiversity.â Section II explicates 19 spiritual concepts, including âUnconditional Love,â âReligious Pluralism,â and âEnvironmental Stewardship.â And, Section III elucidates 17 maxims, like âTake a problem and turn it into an opportunity.â
