This book is about how to grow older without growing old. If you
are fortunate and do not die early by accident or disease, you will
become elderly in this century, a period which will produce more
older people and centenarians than any other time in history.
To get older is one task; to make old age valuable is another.
This book assumes you have had or will want to have a long life
and, more importantly, you have the desire to find significance and
value in being older. This book is meant to help you, but it may
not. It depends, of course, on you. That is why the book is also
called "The Art of Ageing."
This book offers you various proposals for ageing well written
by contemporary international authors who also suggest a variety of
views about how to age artfully.
"An old age in need of self-improvement is unenviable." "On Old
Age," Cicero
"Good old man.Give me your hand and let me your fortunes
understand." "As You Like It," William Shakespeare
"Andorra ranks first among nations in life expectancy-83 years
versus 77.1 in the USA and 37.2 in Zambia."
"Geography.About.com"
"Centenarians are a diverse group, according to The New England
Centenarian Study. Some are teetotalers. Others manage to reach
extreme old age despite heavy drinking and smoking, deadly
behaviors for most people. One feature common to most centenarians
is that stress does not bother them." CNN.com
Profits from the sale of this book will go to international
charities that assist the elderly.
