Companion book to the ten-part PBS series in which varying groups of people, including writers, theologians, artists, and thinkers from different religious and cultural backgrounds, discuss the stories in the Book of Genesis and examine how the tales of creation, temptation, murder, exile, and family strife relate to contemporary times.

Part family memoir, part Studs Terkel, How To Live considers some unusual sources--deathbed confessions, late-in-life journals--as well as offering a rich compilation of interviews with the over-70 set to deliver a highly optimistic look at our dying days.
