A handy resource for wealthy extroverts, neither of which apply to me. Colorful design aesthetics don't make up for the mostly recycled content.

This is a simple book of tips to help people think about aging and plan for it. None of the information was particularly ground-breaking to me and it kind of seemed like a children's book about aging but the tips were all pretty solid. The author is an architect and the most interesting chapter was about home modification.

I was really disappointed: I like the idea of this book, and I think if it were a bit more academic-- these ideas, supported by case studies or deeper descriptions or something. Right now, it feels like a coffee-table book: all pretty pics with a few words in giant font, but not much substance.

Beautiful and simple guide pointing a clear path toward intentional aging. I added this to my to-read list based on an interview. Aging had already been on my mind. Coincidentally, between adding this to my list and reading -- last April, but it feels longer -- i'd started doing some of the things recommended. I think this is a must-have for everyone's shelf as we redefine the final halves of our lives.
