Krista Tippett: You don't have to be old to be wise
What has Krista Tippett learned from 13 years of interviewing scientists, theologians, poets, activists and more?
The creator of "On Being" shares her experiences in her new book, "Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living."
On April 5, Tippett sat down with MPR News host Kerri Miller for The Thread Live, a series of in-depth interviews with influential authors.
"We use this phrase 'old and wise,' and actually, everybody doesn't grow wise — some people just grow old," Tippett said. "It's not synonymous with age, although there is something so precious about a person who has lived a long time. ... But I think wisdom is accessible at all different points of life."
