Old Age A Beginner's Guide by Michael Kinsley

These reflections on approaching the end of life are mainly geared toward the baby boomer generation (those born between 1946 and 1964). The author, who has had Parkinson's disease for over twenty years, offers his thoughts on dealing with Parkinson's as well as thinking about death approaching. He offers the reader much food for thought in thinking about one's own death and how that really is a part of life that no one can escape. The author's spiritual life and views on life after death are not mentioned.

He offers a unique perspective on not only dealing with aging, but on social security and the budget crisis facing our country among other issues. This at times is humorous and at times sobering, but always is entertaining and thought provoking.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
