HOW TO FIND YOUR HAPPINESS. SUZANNE B. O’BRIEN RN INTERVIEWS AWARD WINNING NEW YORK TIMES JOURNALIST JOHN LELAND
In this episode of "Ask a Death Doula," my guest, award winning New York Times journalist John Leland will talk about his latest book and what it truly means to be happy. This book is an extraordinary look at what it means to grow old and is a heartening guide to well-being. Happiness is a Choice You Make, weaves together the stories and wisdom of six New Yorkers who number among the “oldest old” ― those eighty-five and older.
My guest, John Leland, in his 30-plus years of professional journalism has gone from chronicling youth culture to writing about the “oldest old.” A graduate of Columbia College, he has worked as a senior editor at Newsweek and Editor-in-Chief of Details Magazine before joining The New York Times in 2000. In 2015, he wrote a year-long series following six people age 85 and up, which became the basis for his book “Happiness is a Choice You Make: Lessons from a year among the Oldest Old,” a New York Times bestseller. As he wrote in the Times, “No work I have ever done has brought me as much joy and hope or changed my outlook on life as profoundly.”
He is the author of two previous books: “Hip: The History” and “Why Kerouac Matters.”
