When I worked as a hearing aid specialist, most of my clients were over the age of 65. Because I saw them over a period of years, I was privileged to hear many stories.
These folks were retired, and sometimes they were lonely. I’ve always been a great listener, and I enjoyed spending time with each person. Despite a busy practice, I’d often book a fifteen-minute service into a thirty-minute slot so we’d have time to chat.
My clients told me stories their own kids hadn’t heard. An Army pilot described weaving through mountaintops when he flew the hump in World War II. A widow explained her start in a 15,000 episode children’s television show in Cincinnati. She was still teaching despite her failing health, and assured me I could be anything I wanted to be in life. Another 83 year old even mentioned seeing UFOs in Denmark.
It became clear that some incredible memories might be lost forever without someone to listen. That prompted me to write down questions as quickly as I could. If you know someone with fantastic tales (or you have some of your own) this book is for you. I want to encourage you to share your experiences, and write your story for your legacy, and your grandchildren too.
There's a story that only you can tell. The questions in this book cover 12 different subjects and periods in life. You can skip entire sections, or go through every one of the 867 questions. Use these questions with your older friends and family members, and offer them the gift of your time. In addition to hearing some amazing stories, you’ll likely hear things you’ve never heard before. This book includes an interview guide, and how to preserve stories.
You could use these questions for yourself. You don't have to share every detail, just what you want to tell. Pick the questions that make you react emotionally; there’s probably a story behind that reaction. You can voice record your answers, or use your computer to type it out.
These questions can also help you create fictional character traits and details for novels or screenplays. Or choose three questions and answer them from the perspective of someone you may be having trouble communicating with right now. You could ask your partner some of these questions, or use these with people who are in senior living or memory care to help them record the story of their life.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to GreatBookPricesUK, Castle Donington, Derby, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
