Book ID/图书代码： 03080016B87647

English Summary/英文概要： What advice would your 80-year-old self give you? That’s the question social-practice artist Susan O’Malley (1976-2015) asked more than a hundred ordinary people of every age, and from every walk of life. O’Malley collected their responses--words of encouragement, truth, and generosity--and transformed them into the distinctive text-based images gathered in this book. Together, they reveal the wisdom we all hold inside ourselves right now.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 80岁的你会给自己什么建议呢？社会实践艺术家Susan O’Malley问了各个年龄段、各个阶层100多个普通人这个问题。O’Malley搜集了他们的回答——有鼓励，有真相，有宽容，并将这些话语变成了基于文本的图像收录在了本书中。本书揭示了我们所有人当下拥有的智慧。（LYR）

Awards/获奖情况：“‘死亡是必然的，但何时死亡是不确定的，那我应该怎么办呢？’针对这一问题，Susan O’Malley开展了一个神奇的项目。她找了7至88岁各行各业的普通人问了他们同一个问题，即80岁的自己会对现在的自己提出什么样的建议。”——Brain Pickings

“本书可以说颠覆了目前主流自助成长图书的传统类型。作者并没有向内进行思考，而是想外部各行各业更年龄段的普通人提出了问题，并将他们的回答综合形成了本书……搜集到的回答各种各样，但无不透露出不可思议的智慧、真诚和慷慨……我们有幸能够听到这些声音……”——Michelle Kuo

" ’Since death alone is certain, and the time of death uncertain, what should I do?’ So goes an ancient Tibetan meditation, intended to use our mortality as a clarifying force of guidance in how we live our lives. A modern-day take on this question was at the heart of a wonderful project by artist and curator Susan O’Malley, who asked a hundred ordinary people between the ages of seven and eighty-eight what advice their 80-year-old selves would give to their present-day selves." -- Brain Pickings

"O’Malley solicited advice from strangers of all ages and turned it into larger-than-life truisms - both emptying and adding meaning." -Miranda July

"Advice from My 80-Year-Old Self is a brilliant and winsome inversion of that quintessentially twenty-first-century genre, the self-help book. Rather than looking inward, O’Malley reaches outward--to others, strangers, friends. She turns introspective reflection into a resolutely collective and communitarian experience. The accumulated words of advice become forms of visual communication, somewhere between interview and social campaign, conversation and agitprop: lay off the cigars; friends before screen time; i told you so; life is short make it good. The voices gathered here display incredible wit, sincerity, and generosity; we are lucky to be able to listen to them." --Michelle Kuo, Artforum
