Rabbi Harold S. Kushner wrote the bestselling memoir, "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" after his son tragically died. Thirteen books and several decades later, Kushner is eighty-years-old and has written his final book: "Nine Essential things I've Learned About Life." It's a simple set of guidelines for a complicated world, extracted from the many lessons he's learned over the course of his venerated career as a beloved Rabbi and a flawed human being.
