"Age gracefully!", that is what most people are told on their birthdays. Old age is a blessing that should be accepted with a grateful heart by all. This book will go a long way in teaching not just the aging population but everyone, how to live healthy and happily.

A self-help book on aging gracefully sounds educational for older and younger generation. The author showcases the problems and challenges faced by the older people and supports it with statistical data. It is good that the author included personal stories. Thanks for the review 😊

The book sounds helpful and even motivating for older people. I'm sure many readers will find it useful as the author gives suggestions and real-life examples.

The book is about the challenges that the older generation are faced with and the effects of those challenges on the younger generation. It also touches on the American economic challenges and made suggestions on how to combat some of them.
The review is superb.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

I see the way that older people are treated in this country and it is very disheartening to me, especially as I become older myself. Many other places age is regarded as having wisdom and that wisdom is seen as something great.

Wow! Finally someone who addresses this age issue. My parents are well into their 50s and are super scared of what it means now. My age is also creeping on me. I sure could use a few positive words about aging. Great review

The reviewer described the book as a preparatory, informative, and expository piece for the aging population. As we age and prepare for retirement, we could borrow from the knowledge in the book to cushion ourselves from the challenges expected. Thank you for your great review.

This sounds like a great gift to give to a parent honestly, but it is also great to read something like this earlier. I do not have any idea what to expect from old age, but one thing i know for sure is that I do not want to have regrets and I definitely want to age with grace. This is a unique and decent book!

"Taking Charge: Vol. 2 More Stories on Aging Boldly" by Herb Weiss. A very interesting non-fiction book, it's educative and highlightens the challenges the older generation are facing with and the effects of those challenges on the younger generation. Being old or getting old is a privilege, it should be something we need to prepare for, both financially, physically and emotionally. Congrats on #BOTD.

Old age is definitely not a death sentence! The old have the chance to do so many things. This review is encouraging and motivating not just for old people but for young people too who have aging relatives that they would like to help adjust to aging. I would definitely love to read Taking Charge Volume 2: More Stories on Aging Boldly. It is important that society takes the well being of old people seriously as they are a blessing to communities. Knowing how to assist them and look out for them will help everyone adjust in the way they interact with the old including providing services to them. Great review! Very informative and encouraging to readers!
