EP426: Today we welcome back a previous guest, Merle Saferstein, an accomplished expert on legacy building. In this episode, she shares the story behind the development of her latest passion project, “Wisdom of the Century,” a book that captures the life lessons of 90 individuals over the age of 90. 

Merle’s career is a testament to her unwavering commitment to memory, education, and the preservation of personal legacies. She is an author of three impactful books, a prolific journal writer, a facilitator of writing groups, a public speaker, a pioneer in legacy journaling, and even a bereavement volunteer.

Merle and I talked about:

Merle’s insights and practical advice offer a wonderful starting point for anyone curious about legacy work. One often overlooked aspect Merle shares about legacy is that it isn't solely defined by our experiences and accomplishments; rather, it's our beliefs and values that offer the most enduring memory to those we cherish.

Merle will undoubtedly leave you inspired to consider capturing the legacy you wish to leave behind and maybe even thinking about how you can help a loved one document theirs. I encourage you to tune in and discover how you can begin your own journey of preserving the lessons, values, and memories that matter most.
