Worth Reading submitted by kimberlina on June 15, 2020, 4:55pm As someone approaching retirement, I needed this book. It gave me hope for a "worthwhile" life in my later years. It also led me to the book From Age-ing to Sage-ing that is also a must read for people hoping to continue living until the very end of life!
Enlightening submitted by tsaunder on October 26, 2022, 8:52pm This is a wonderful book that inspires felling of inner calm and joy despite addressing such a serious topic.
