{"product_id":"the-octogenarian-handbook-peter-saxton-schroeder-9781954094598","title":"The Octogenarian Handbook: Delaying The 5 Ways of Dying","description":"No mid-life adult wants to be an Octogenarian. But-if they think of the alternative-they all want one day to become one. As people approach their senior years, that hope strengthens as they realize only 5% to 15% of their life remains-if they're lucky.\u003cbr\u003ePeter Schroeder describes how to steer your life towards longevity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe shows there are only five ways to die-no alternatives-and one of these ways has your name on it. Ironically, each of these ways of dying is described by a single word beginning with the letter \"A\" easy to remember, hard to forget.\u003cbr\u003eNow in his mid-80s, the author recounts how as a 39-year-old diagnosed with terminal bone cancer, his doctors gave him only a few years to live. In looking for alternative medical systems, he traveled to an ashram in India where for three years two Ayurvedic healers helped him plan a \"serene and beautiful death.\" But to his doctors' amazement, the disease went into remission. Since then, Schroeder has reclaimed his once-active life for more than four decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs he contemplated his end of life, he narrowed the ways of dying down to only five. He gives readers a practical understanding of them and analyzes how people, as they age, might be able to influence their own personal passing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in a light-hearted and somewhat whimsical style, the book is not morbid or morose. Factual and gentle in style, it goes to the heart of this inevitable outcome we all face.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Saxton Schroeder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1954094590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954094598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Richter Publishing LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Peter Saxton Schroeder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46199314972927,"sku":"9781954094598","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eec18e74-8038-41c4-b382-f92dcdafbc7b.jpg?v=1727925695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-octogenarian-handbook-peter-saxton-schroeder-9781954094598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
