"Even today, veneration of older people continues to be the norm
among ethnic groups and all other societies be they first, second,
or third world. Our country seems to be unique, even among other
highly industrialized countries, in viewing the elderly as a social
problem."
Forget about stereotypes regarding senior citizens-seniors are
far from obsolete. They are one of our country's greatest and most
valuable resources, and we need to reevaluate our attitude toward
them.
"Staying in the Game" profiles twenty American seniors, all age
seventy-five or older, and discusses how they've managed to live
happy, productive, and fulfilling lives. Even with different
social, educational, and financial backgrounds, all of them remain
very active and continue to pursue their goals.
By sharing their life stories-from childhood to the
present-these senior citizens offer invaluable lessons on how they
overcame barriers, developed philosophies on life, and kept on
going despite adversity. Author David Gotlieb, a senior citizen
himself, proves that it's entirely possible to understand senior
citizens in America, thus improving our perception and appreciation
of this wise generation.
