This book is gorgeous. What I have read so far is gorgeous, too. I highly recommend the book's website, wisdombook.org, where you can watch a video trailer of some of the folks whom Zuckerman interviewed for the book.
The passages are unedited interviews without the interview questions, so they read like stream-of-consciousness prose. If you can work with that, it's great. I am taking one wise teacher at a time and enjoying every bit of it as I go.

I am wondering what other people besides Clint Eastwood are included in this book.

The pictures of some are captivating, but overall, not loving this book as much as Creature.

quotes from this book
"I was in the Air Force a while and they had what they call "policing the area." That's where you looked around and if there's anything wrong here, there, anywhere, you took care of your own area. And I think that's a pretty good thing to go by. If everyone just takes care of their own area then we won't have any problems. Be here. Be present. Wherever you are, be there. And look around you and see what needs to be changed."
