What one object in your life holds a special meaning to you? That's the question Bill Shapiro and Naomi Wax asked 150 people of all walks of life across the country. The results of their findings are captured beautifully in their new book What We Keep. From "everyday" people such as a barber and a war widow to well-known folks such as Melinda Gates and Mark Cuban, the book chronicles the stories and meaning behind cherished personal belongings. Shapiro, who is the former editor in chief of Life magazine, talks about his inspiration for the book, his most surprising discoveries, and what it taught him about what we value most.
