So good that I called up my best friend right after I finished it to make sure she would read it next! There is some very helpful advice in it about dealing with issues of aging and forgetting.

Definitely not her best book.
If you want insight in to SOME elders, but not most of the people I know unfortunately, then give this a try. Some parts are extremely good and helpful. It definitely does make you empathic, especially towards the "Silent Generation" but overall I walked away with not learning that much and definitely how to help my family.

This book is full of difficult subject matter, dealing with the culture we build around our elders, aging, death, and dying. Mary Pipher is an excellent writer, so it still manages to be a very engaging read. Highly recommended for all generations.
