Enjoying every minute of the aging process!

A profound and exciting reflection on what it means to embrace every moment of our journey. This is a must read book for people of all ages. After all, aging begins the moment we are born. Besides being a joyful overview of how to engage within our communities - both local and global, this book provides excellent resources upon which to draw. I will be keeping is close at hand for inspiration and ideas. Thanks Maggy!

Read this "book" in a span of an hour. It is filled with way too many quotes. Half the book is full of large quote pages. The information is anything you can get from doing a Google search on health and longevity.

I ordered this book because someone recommended it but it was such a disappointment. The only cute part is the intro section by the author who speaks about aging and how it's a mind over body concept.

I decided to return the book because it was so not worth keeping.
