The Swedish Art of Aging Exuberantly

The older I get, the less I believe in respecting elders just because they're old. The aged have really pushed their agenda of forced status based on smoke and mirrors for a long time, and frankly, I'm over it. Whenever I pass the age of someone I looked up to or got advice from (especially if it was a sort of “you'll understand when you're older, poppet” format) I realize that I don't know anything yet, and neither did they, it was all hollow bravado. That said, this book was refreshing, because it didn't use dumping on younger people to build up the old. It just talked about living well and doing what you can for as long as you can. Recommended for all ages.
