A bucket list is a list of things to do before you die. This book is a guide to ways to live before you die. Whether you have a bucket list or not, the stories and insights in this book offer you seven clear ways to lighten-and enlighten-your life before you kick the bucket. George Simons and Walt Hopkins (international consultants in their mid-seventies) have learned a lot about living well while getting older-and they generously and intimately share those learnings with men and women concerned about ageing. If you are getting older-or if you know someone who is-this is a provocative, funny, and insightful guide to living a lively and meaningful life as the years go by. "With Mark Twain-like humor and age-old wisdom...it's a guide to kicking out what brings you down and picking up the things that make you happy." Patrick Schmidt, Strasbourg, France. Author of In Search of Intercultural Understanding. "I think it will be a phenomenon. Just like people say 'it's on my bucket list' I think they will say 'it's on my Chucket List' or my Ducket List or whatever." Marianne Erdelyi, Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Coach, trainer, and consultant.
