"...may mark a breakthrough of sorts in this area...this book
enlightens, engages, and outlines very clearly and concisely what
aging is like, what problems we will have as we all age, and what
we can possibly do to confront the massive challenges of aging
head-on and cope as best as we can. I dare say that this book
should be recommended reading for those of us who think about the
daily process of aging."--PsycCRITIQUES
