What Matters Most

Twenty years ago Paul Samuel Dolman created and released a book of forty intimate interviews with notable Nashvillians, entitled What Matters Most.  The book featured groundbreaking conversations with a highly diverse demographic of citizens.  From country superstar, Wynonna Judd, to an Islamic street vendor, the participants shared their souls.

Now two decades later, What Matters Most returns with highlights from the original, plus ten previously unreleased interviews with Tennessee icons Sir John Templeton, Pat Summitt, Fred Smith, Patricia Neal, Carl Rowan, Arum Gandhi, Bill Moyers and special guest, Nashville Mayor Megan Barry.

These are deep, penetrating dialogues on the nature of our existence and the many ways to find one’s purpose.   Dolman gives these people the space to open up in an expansive exchange that allows the radiance of their humanity to shine forth.

A must read for anyone seeking a little wisdom to move through the world more openly and effectively.

Paul Samuel Dolman is the author of several books, including Hitchhiking With Larry David, Martha’s Vineyard Miracles, and Seven Crazy Days in Maui.  He also hosts the popular podcast What Matters Most.
