Based on video recorded interviews and extensive surveys of more than 500 Centenarians, this unforgettable book brings you into a world few human beings have ever known. What must it be like to have lived an entire century-and not just any century, but one of the most fertile, productive, cataclysmic, revolutionary hundred-year periods in the history of the human race?

Imagine having navigated all of life's personal milestones against the backdrop of the Jazz Age, the Great Depression, two World Wars, the Space Age, the Digital Age, and 9/11; what stories you would have to tell! In their own words, and with no small measure of good humor, these remarkable men and women tell their stories and share their insights on life, business, making it and losing it, great sorrow and joy-and having lived to tell the tale.

• Distills the wisdom and wit of 500 centenarians into six sections covering the passage of time, career, money, time management, secrets of longevity, and capturing and sharing wisdom
• Full of timeless advice, like "Money cannot make you, but it can break you," with anecdotes about savings, debt, and investing for the long-run-the really, really long run
• Based on over 500 taped interviews and extensive questionnaire surveys developed and conducted by noted experts Steve Franklin and Lynn Peters Adler

"Five thousand years' worth of insight distilled into one extraordinary book! In Celebrate 100, my friend Steve Franklin and his colleague Lynn Adler provide us with a fun, witty, and staggeringly insightful look into the minds and hearts of centenarians."
—Andy Stanley, Senior Pastor, North Point Ministries

"If you want to win with money or life, you need to take a good look at other people who are winning. If you want to know how to win over the long haul, you need to talk to people who have a lot of life experience under their belts and who've still come out ahead. That's exactly what you'll get in Celebrate 100."
—Dave Ramsey, New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio show host

"Anyone who has ever listened to old men tell stories in a town square or heard grandmothers and great-grandmothers chatter in the kitchen knows the sheer joy and fascination of it. Now Steve Franklin and Lynn Peters Adler have brought us a book that crackles—and cackles—with just such an experience. Their compilation of centenarian stories, 'secrets' and advice is a touching and helpful gift to our youth-obsessed age."
—Stephen Mansfield, New York Times bestselling author

"Steve Franklin and Lynn Adler have helped inspire my dad, Truett Cathy (founder and CEO of Chick-fil-A), to up his game. He now wants to live to 110, thanks in part to Celebrate 100! Read this book."
—Don M. "Bubba" Cathy, Executive Vice President, Chick-fil-A

"This book is an incredible treasure. Steve and Lynn have given us a well-organized look at many who have lived and experienced over 100 years of life. These men and women have experienced remarkable change, probably like nothing in the history of the world. I was impressed with several things. First of all, what wisdom and perspective they have. Secondly, how positive their attitudes are and finally, how fundamental their advice is. We hear all the time how 'this time it's different.' These wonderful people tell us that while the circumstances may differ, the response remains the same: 'Follow principles, not fads.' Thank you, Steve and Lynn, for giving us a book that should be on everyone's reading list."
