“What Blanchard and Shaevitz have really done is change our whole perspective on time. Instead of an older person feeling like a ‘has-been,’ each is encouraged to become a ‘will be.’ We are not our past—we are the possibilities of adventures in our future.”
—Natasha Josefowitz, author of Too Wise to Want to Be Young Again and Been There, Done That, Doing It Better
