Book summary

Arguably the most admired US president in history, Jimmy Carter shares his impressions of living life in advanced maturity. In a highly personal account of growing older in an acutely ageist society, Carter's example is uplifting and enlightening about the greater possibilities that await in the older years. Using his own history of losing the presidential election and returning to the farming business, Carter outlines the challenges he has faced, and how diet, exercise, self-reliance, and productivity are helping him enjoy life's riches well into his 70s.

"This book offers all of us...a valuable lesson. It reminds us that aging is a natural part of life, not something to fear or run away from."
