The Book That Gets Better With Age ─ Observations Through the Looking Glass of Aging

This is an engaging collection of aphorisms and stories about the things that can get better with age. It offers an insightful and at times humorous look through the looking glass of aging. Because people of age have lived long lives, they have accumulated valuable experience that gives them an advantage that most young people simply dont yet have: wisdom. Wisdom is the ultimate form of intelligence because it is created by combining knowledge with actual experience. This book is a chronicle of the wisdom gained with age and is a gift for all ages, but especially those who are young, because it offers a privileged glimpse of the future.
