DESCRIPTION:Join us in virtual conversation with storyteller and popular b
 logger Ted Page as we chat about his book Good Grandpa: Stories from the H
 eart of Grandfatherhood. This heartfelt book highlights his journey to b
 ring together the stories and wisdom of grandfathers from all walks of lif
 e—all with a mission to nurture the next great generation.When author Te
 d Page found out he was going to be a grandpa, he did a web search to lear
 n more about the experience in store for him, but all he could find were r
 eferences to the movie Bad Grandpa. He couldn’t help but wonder, “Wher
 e are the good ones?” Page started a blog, GoodGrandpa.com, and set out 
 to talk with grandfathers across a diverse spectrum. This included an NFL 
 pro athlete, a priest, a rabbi, an imam, newsman Tom Brokaw, comedy legend
  John Cleese, Chinese and Indians, physicians adapting to disability, an a
 ir force general, a Vietnam combat vet, and many more—plus his Aunt Lois
  and the Dalai Lama, because why not?Along the way, Page delved into famil
 y histories—his own and those of the grandpas he interviewed—to reveal
  fascinating stories and lessons for living a good life. In every conversa
 tion he asked grandpas for their number one most important piece of wisdom
 —one thing that could help our grandchildren grow to become the greatest
  generation of all time. Would the collective wisdom Page gathered turn ou
 t to be one singular idea, or a constellation of north stars that illumina
 te a path toward a better future? A unified and unforgettable picture does
  in fact emerge.Good Grandpa is inspiring, uplifting, evocative, and fille
 d with genuine emotion. It is a recipe of hope for a divided America, and 
 the book that will be on every grandparent’s reading list.Register today
  and find out why Ted Page says “our greatest generation is to come.”A
