You will become calmer and see with new eyes the simple blessings of life that often "hide in plain sight," covered over by the distractions of our lives. And you will see aging itself in a new light, discovering with astonishment one day that you are happier now than you have ever been ? whether you are 40, 60, or ? like the author ? 82. With moving, thought-provoking stories and meditations from the author's life, The Secret Promise of Aging reminds us that our challenges are not the misfortune we sometimes imagine them to be. They are the fertile soil through which the beauty and power of our true nature can shine through us more freely and abundantly.
