One the motivational food for thought readers could take from this book was this: "if you change the way you look at things, the thing you look at would change."
I find this to be true at any age! Thank you for your thorough review.

Latest Review: Sophistries of Summer Days by Jenny Lofters

Post by John Arun Kumar »

This is a non-fiction about the challenges that the older generation are faced with and the effects of those challenges on the younger generation. Growing old is a motivation for people to pursue and achieve their life goals. One of the issues is the contributions of modern technologies like 'automated dialling' and 'robocalls' in perpetuating fraudulent activities. A good book and a book review. Congratulations on the BOTD!

I like that the author has taken a sober and realistic approach to the problem of the generation gap. It is commendable that Herb Weiss promotes active old age.

This book touches on a topic that is inevitable to all, old age. The author's premise is that life does not end when we reach old age. I find it to be very informative and thought provoking since the perspective is quite unique. Congrats on the BOTD!

Growing old gracefully is something we all want to do. A self-help book about growing old is a unique concept for sure. I will have to check this one out!

I enjoyed your review. This doesn't sound like something I would read as I am not a number person. Statistics and reports do not sound like something I would enjoy reading, but advice about preparing for the future is something everyone should look into.

It's really nice that people think of this type of topic to write on. It is very helpful for people who are elderly and people working in institutions that take care of elderly people. Being in my 20s I think I'm too young to start worrying about old age. Congrats on being the BOTD! Nice review.

This book seems interesting. I like the way it addresses problems old people face and how they can be prevented. I also love the part where it made mentioned that growing old can serve as a motivation for people to achieve their dreams. Older people would find this book helpful. Great review.

This is a very detailed and educative review. It offers a new perspective on old age and all that senior citizens go through but still it makes it clear that it's not something to be scared or anxious about.

This is a very educational review, I think we are much too often scared of getting old, but that is just life, we will keep facing challenges, that is true, but we have also overcome so many in order to get there.
