In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, my guest is Eric Weiner, author of the new book Ben & Me: In Search of a Founder's Formula for a Long and Useful Life. Eric is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and speaker. He’s a previous guest on the show; we discussed his book The Socrates Express in our last conversation. I’m incredibly grateful to have Eric back on the show; I consider anything Eric writes a must-read. As you’ll hear in the episode, he has the rare gift of making the search for wisdom both practical and entertaining!
