The Slightly Older Person's Guide to Graceful Aging

Are you growing, or just growing old?

As you age, would you like to feel the constant blooming of new possibilities, or the of drying up of possibilities?

This collection of short reflections brings to light how we unconsciously make aging into something it’s not, and how we suffer as a consequence.

The purpose of this book is to lead you, as you age, toward a life that feels simpler and less complicated, instead of harder and more complicated.

In it, you’ll find suggestions for learning how to be easier on yourself, and how that can allow you to be more effective in your life. These reflections are written for people who’d like the later part of their lives to be another rewarding chapter, perhaps the most rewarding chapter of their lives. 

This book invites you to a happier, easier life. I hope you’ll accept the invitation.
