5.0

Using The Odyssey, King Lear, The Tempest and Little Gidding, Helen Luke brilliantly deals with the aging process; the need to ask forgiveness, to let go of the needs of the ego to compete and achieve, allowing the true self to emerge. Her final chapter looks at the true meaning of suffering and how it leads to compassion, the lightening of the burdens of others, and finally, to joy. I loved her wisdom and insights and if I had any criticism at all, it would be of the frequent appearance of typos in the kindle version. Other than that, it was a superb read.
