The Adventures and Dreams of Older Americans
How do we find meaning and happiness as we age?
A remarkable group of Americans—including a big-city Mayor, an adventurer, a missionary, a Marine Corps general, as well as athletes, philanthropists, factory workers, nurses, and teachers—discuss their thoughts and feelings about growing older.
They show rather than tell how to age with authenticity, vitality, and hope. The resulting book is many things: a series of reflections on growing older; a store of insight and instruction; a sustained argument for the power of choosing, no matter the circumstance, to live well.
