Description
In 2015, when the author set out to meet members of America's fastest-growing age group, he anticipated learning of challenges, of loneliness, and of the deterioration of body, mind, and quality of life. But the elders he met took him in an entirely different direction. Despite disparate backgrounds and circumstances, they each lived with a surprising lightness and contentment. The reality he encountered upended contemporary notions of aging, revealing the late stages of life as unexpectedly rich and the elderly as incomparably wise. With humility, heart, and wit, this book offers a sophisticated and necessary reflection on how to "live better' by those who have mastered the art. [From publisher's description]
