Summary
"Aging as a Spiritual Practice is a wise, compassionate book that guides readers through the four key stages of agingsuch as Lightning Strikes (the moment we wake up to our aging)as well as the processes of adapting to change, embracing who we are, and appreciating our unique life chapters. Unlike many philosophical works on aging this one incorporates illuminating facts from scientific researchers, doctors, and psychologists as well as contemplative practices and guided meditations. Breath by breath, moment by moment, Richmonds teachings inspire limitless opportunities for a joy that transcends age"--Amazon.com
