I think the part about technology and fraud is just sad. The older generation is very vulnerable to this since technology is one of their biggest handicaps. Great book. Thank you for the detailed review.

A superbly written review! It was very informative and interesting. I feel like there is no time like the present to prepare for your life after retirement. The sooner you get started, the better off you will be when you can no longer support yourself. I like how the review used the quote "Growing old does not have to be a death sentence" because most elderly people feel like a burden and that they are just in the way, like their lives are over. I think this will be an excellent book.

I love the idea that this book portrays. I believe in the " better late than never " idea, and if it happens to be at you old age that you began to discover your potential then explore it. Congrats BOTD.

I have many reasons to be interested in this book even before reading this review. But the statistical aspect you point out makes it a must read now. I secretly think that, in a functional society, it is the elderly who have structured it socially and economically, but then find themselves neglected. It would be interested to see if this book feeds my hypothesis or not.

Growing old is really not a death sentence. A book that explains this fact is a most welcomed addition to my bookshelf.

I was hoping for a more personal information about how to age gracefully. The statistics in this book may help the elderly relate to their kind as they struggle to adjust to the new upbringing of younger generations. Life doesn't end at old age, especially when you leave a legacy. Congratulations on the BOTD.

I like how this book encourages people not to be passive in their aging process. Since we have no choice but to age, then we must not just age but age boldly. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

The effect the Covid-19 pandemic had on the aged population is a very nice review. I found it to be so educative; a lot of lessons to learn from it. Congrats on being the BOTD.

An educative read targeted at the older generation. It's refreshing to read that the author included tips on technology since this age bracket is a target of fraud. Thank you for the insightful review.
