After service in Vietnam, as a surgeon for the 11th Armored Cavalry
Regiment in 1968-69, at the height of the war, Dr. Gordon
Livingston returned to the U.S. and began work as a psychiatrist.
In that capacity, he has listened to people talk about their
lives-what works, what doesn't, and the limitless ways (many of
them self-inflicted) that people find to be unhappy. He is also a
parent twice bereaved in one thirteen-month period, he lost his
eldest son to suicide, his youngest to leukemia. Out of a lifetime
of experience, Gordon Livingston has extracted thirty bedrock
truths: We are what we do. Any relationship is under the control of
the person who cares the least. The perfect is the enemy of the
good. Only bad things happen quickly. Forgiveness is a form of
letting go, but they are not the same thing. The statute of
limitations has expired on most of our childhood traumas.
Livingston illuminates these and twenty-four others in a series of
carefully hewn, perfectly calibrated essays, many of which focus on
our closest relationships and the things that we do to impede or,
less frequently, enhance them. Again and again, these essays
underscore that we are what we do," and that while there may be no
escaping who we are, we have the capacity to face loss, misfortune,
and regret and to move beyond them-that it is not too late. Full of
things we may know but have not articulated to ourselves, Too Soon
Old, Too Late Smart offers solace, guidance, and hope to everyone
ready to become the person they'd most like to be.
