From the Inside Flap:

How can I live to my fullest potential in the last quarter of life?

More and more people are living into old age. That we know for a fact. But there is a good deal of evidence that old age can be an isolating and depressing time. This may be due to physical circumstances or the failure of society to provide enough care. But there is another concern that applies to all of us as the years roll by. It is our changing attitude to the life we have on earth and our growing thoughtfulness about what it means to be alive.
