Do NOT let the title fool you! Yes, it is about transformation during the second half of life but to be fair, this book is perfect for anyone at any age.
Angeles Arrien joined me on Energy Awareness this week to discuss this book. It's not a topic that is discussed readily in the United States. We have a tendency to cast aside our elderly, put them out to pasture and not give them the respect and honors they deserve.
In reading this book I learn about these metaphorical gates that we traverse beginning at about age 60. Okay, I get that. BUT, in reading this book, I clearly learn that I've been through some of these gates before. No, not in a different lifetime. During this very life I'm currently living and I must say, without doubt, that this book is a wonderful guide and can help anyone transform at any age.
I would dare to say that the insights I got where phenomenal. It's a must read for those who are in their early 20's right through retirement. If you read this book, I believe, you'll avail yourself to the opportunities of growth and know how to get through them, good and bad, because you'll learn to be more aware of where you are, exactly, in your life.
Angeles is more than well educated and speaks to us clearly and easily offering insights about aging that we as a society have dismissed all too easily.

To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson: "To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or redeemed social condition; to know even ONE life has breathed easier because YOU live --- that is to have succeeded."
