Good work in getting the least philosophical people in the world all together. More like the love of money and power over others.

The fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom

I like the words that Andrew Wyeth said. I think his face is beautiful, and his all wrinkles have life story. I don't need definition of wisdom, but I want to see the strength of human.

There was in fact a wide cross-section of people who have "achieved", chosen for the film and book. Juxtaposing the term "celebrity" and "intellectual" doesn't make sense as an arguement here. Zuckerman and team chose who they felt represented their vision of the piece. The people chosen come from many focuses of life & backgrounds What does"celebrity" mean anyway? It occurs as fruitless to generate negative criticism's of a piece when one's criticism isn't fully informed.

@ColoradoState76 read a few excerpts from the book. their insight is amazing. celebrity or not...with age comes wisdom.

@ColoradoState76 Look at the names genius, while I agree that being a celebrity doesn't make their opinion any better, some have actually changed the world for the better.

I could care less about what celebrities view on wisdom is. What makes their words more "wise" than anybody else's? Just because they can act or sing? Why don't you give me some "intellectuals" view on wisdom. Then maybe this video and your book wouldn't be a total waste of time.

Andrew, I think the video is great, very well done. But I wonder at the fact you didn't keep your subjects on track, most do not answer your question. I like socrates' answer to the news of being named Greece's wisest man by the oracle at Adelphi: "The oracle is right, I am the wisest man in Greece because I am the only one who knows he knows nothing...
