The first mistake you'll make on this page: I live in four countries, in amazing locations. But don't think I'm a rich playboy.

I haven't had a year-round home to call my own since 2017. I struggle with money every month. I now live as the guest of deep friends and family.

I have an extraordinary life due to the enormous generosity of family and friends.

So how did I become homeless? This story ends with a hurricane. I'll tell the full story here.

My life has been very complex. At 84, I haven't even figured out what I do yet.

But I have learned a lot from the people who have shaped me, from homeless people to Lady Gaga to rulers of countries.

And there’s what I learned from a tarantula, too, just last week.

The lessons I’ve learned in life and the mistakes I’ve made may help you tune your day. Maybe not.

You decide.

Life as I have known it

Here’s how it started:

Dropped on my head, and a Superman cape:

Would you like to know the story of your family and friends?

Your friends and family have shaped you life, right?

Wouldn't it be nice to have those stories, all collected, to share with them?

We're going to help you create your friends and family's oral history. And we'll do the heavy lifting for you.

Decades ago, my best friend and I created The Common Ground Book—a look at what our family and friends have in common.

The book was the subject of an NPR special.

My creds when it comes to talking turkey.

For over 50 years, I've been a presence when it comes to consumer issues and healthy living and fighting for happiness. I've been a presence from the Washington Post, to Oprah, to Blue Zones. Want details? Go here.

Ever worried about you kids or grandkids? How their lives are going?

Why not share good advice with them—but from another young person?

I've had personal assistants for 43 years, starting with Blue Zones Founder Dan Buettner. I've learned from them, they've learned from me.

My 25th P.A. is Emil. Emil is blogging about his experiences with me right here. Share a link to his posts with young people you know. They might like his reports.

Meet Emil:

My name is Emil.

I'm a 21-year-old Danish guy who somehow ended up as the 25th personal assistant to an 84-year-old man who's the busiest guy I've ever met. Leaving my friends, my family, and everything familiar behind, I landed in a country where I didn't know a single person – and stepped straight into Remar's chaotic, yet fascinating life.
