More Like a Public Infomercial

Mostly ideas of things you can do when you're old. No profound wisdom.
Well read, though.

Disappointed with content.

Surly nothing new added to the existing wisdom out there. Disappointed with content as it did not produce any unique outlook to this fundamental question of aging.

Wish I hadn't bought this

I loved Tuesdays With Morrie and thought let's get it straight from Morrie.. But this book is so boring and it is just little slippets in short chapters and I can't even finish it.

Feels like instructions

This just isn’t resonating with me. It’s feeling somewhat depressing and instructional. Perhaps just a little bit humor around the topic of aging could lighten it up.

Nothing new

I am not sure it is anything we didn’t already know. Kinda disappointed. Would not recommend

Disappointing

I was really expecting the same enthusiasm and energy that Mitch Albom conveyed in Tuesdays with Morrie. Instead, I felt like this was a lot of the same repeated lessons with less heart behind them.

Boring!

Tell me something new, something I haven't already heard elsewhere. Can I get a refund?

Genuine Advice for all us as we age

Very genuine advice about facing aging and death. Be human. Great edit by the son of a very insightful and helpful Dad to all us and how to address aging and being inspired and death with presence and courage.

Worth Reminding

I noticed some reviews saying that there was nothing new. Personally I am grateful to be reminded of the facts that are extremely helpful to live a life that is guided by some of the best attributes.

Spoke to my heart

As a 63-year-old retired person, this book spoke to my heart and inspired me to continue giving back to society.
