This book provides great insight on subject of aging, meaning and retirement.

It takes up the specific work that our education neglected. It offers a new lexicon for what most of us have been experiencing without a language for it. It draws on the great philosophers, scientists and the metaphysical that were largely absent from our formal education.

Along the way, Considerations in Final Third of Life, takes up questions that most books in this category avoid. How long can a healthy sixty-five-year-old actually expect to live, and why do the popular numbers mislead? What happens in the final decade, and how much of that decline is negotiable? What do people report when they come back from the edge of death, and what should a skeptic make of it? Is there a God, and how does a person process uncertainty?

“This is not a book about slowing down. It is a book about seeing clearly.”
