"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.
Kennedy Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School, and New
York Times bestselling author of Super Brain and Super Genes
"Destined to become a classic, Ageless Soul brilliantly illuminates
one of life's most enduring mysteries: '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 offers a
richly textured vision of how, in Moore's own words, to 'age
well.'" - Pythia Peay, author of American Icarus: A Memoir of
Father and Family and America on the Couch: Psychological
Perspectives on American Politics and Culture "With warmth,
intimacy, and rare depth of wisdom [Moore] guides his readers
through each of [aging's] stages. Grounded in years of
psychological research and spiritual reflection on the human
enterprise, this wonderful book lays out for us what it is to live
a full and creative life all the way to its end. This book should
be read by everyone but especially by those for whom the very
thought of aging is depressing. This book can change their minds."
- Sister Joan Chittister, author of The Gift of Years "With Ageless
Soul, Thomas Moore extends a magnificent invitation to reflect,
grow up with joy and intention, and give back with an open heart.
Accept and pleasure follows." - Marc Freedman, founder and CEO of
Encore.org and author of The Big Shift "In this profound and moving
meditation upon aging, Thomas Moore offers us the keys to living
well. Anyone facing the second half of life can gain from this
lovely book a measure of wisdom and serenity." - Ralph White,
author of The Jeweled Highway "Ageless Soul comes at a time when
the world dearly needs a soul lift...Moore's most crucial work to
date and a must-read for contemplatives of all ages." - Southwest
Journal "Moore offers a guide to growing old and accepting who we
are while seeking joy, contentment and fulfillment in our final
season of life." - BookPage "This gentle book, filled with specific
suggestions and thought-provoking examples, will be inspiring to
older readers and a comfort to their caregivers." - Booklist,
