The College of Human Ecology, the Cornell Club of Fairfield County and the Pequot Library invite you to an inspiring and entertaining BOOK TALK 

with Cornell University professor Dr. Karl Pillemer.  From interviews with 700 elders, his new book 30 Lessons for Loving is the most detailed survey of long-married people ever conducted. Seeking wisdom from a wide variety of couples who have been together for decades, Pillemer offers us a rare opportunity to learn from those who have made love and commitment work. The book is filled with wonderful stories and insightful narratives, and covers topics such as communicating in constructive ways, keeping the spark alive, and learning how to accept your partner as he or she is. He will also share insights on his Legacy Project and his first book, 30 Lessons for Living.
