"While a bit of a tiresome read do to it's repetitive structure and less-then-compelling voice (want to read it yet?), this is worth tackling for it's timely, insightful assessment of the best information currently available on how to age well and live a long, healthy life. The section debunking common myths and misconception is particularly useful and the stories of folks who have aged "successfully" are touching and inspiring. If you have older parents, or are an older parent, or are thinking of getting some - this just might be the book for you. Or them."
