"After reading this beautifully and eloquently written book,
getting older seems much more like a blessing than a curse! Thomas
Moore convinces us that we age best when we embrace our age, live
agelessly, and remember every day to find the endless joy nestled
inside our soul." - Dr. Rudolph E. Tanzi, Joseph P. and Rose F.

'Why--and how--do we grow old?' A pioneer pointing the way forward
to a new world of aging, Thomas Moore reveals the land beyond
middle age as both a culmination of experience and a summons to
adventure and exploration... A precious book to keep for ourselves,
and to give to friends and family of all generations, Ageless Soul

'age well.'" - Pythia Peay, author of American Icarus: A Memoir of
