What a joyful warm, personalized book

Dr. Pelletier has given us a gift. He has written a book that helps us value aging-this is so important in a culture that is truely aging and fearful of it. Dr. Pelletier, a psychologist, shares his personal journey, his hardships, losses and his own deep joys as he sees and feels them. Even in the profound losses he shares with us, Dr. Pelletier can find a kind of joy and deep respect that only a person who has learned to age well can share with us. For anyone who might be aging with a degree of trepidation, I would suggest a read of Dr. Pelletier's book. He will offer guidance, practical and personal advice that will ease your pain and deepen your appreciation of being older. An included chapter by Dr. Carl Rogers elevates this book to work of art.
