An aging mind shift MUST READ.
This should be required reading for everyone turning 40. The practical tips are generally nothing we haven't all heard before in terms of exercise, diet, stress, etc... but the mind shift is truly powerful. Worth the read.

(still not done) and it is amazing. There is so much wisdom and practical suggestions
I’ve been reading this book for about a week now, (still not done) and it is amazing. There is so much wisdom and practical suggestions. In the morning I just open the book randomly and read. It is my message for the day.

Practice everyday
I like thinking it is possible, but at the expense of elimination of most pleasures

A life of meaning.
After spending the past 35 years growing a business I recently retired, and am ready to start the last 1/3 of my life.One of my life purposes was to help protect lives and property, which I did by starting a fire alarm \ Security system and access control business. It wasn’t me, but the team I assembled that grew a company to be one of the 100 largest in the US.The success of our business wasn’t the size, but the bringing together of a team that always strove to do the right thing, even if it meant we didn’t make a profit on the job.My second life’s purpose was to introduce people to nature and learn to explore God’s creation. While I did dedicate a large percentage of my leisure time to exploring nature - and encouraging others to do so - I feel in the last chapter of life I’ll have more time to devote my energy to contributing to earth improvement by gardening, continuing to bring others closer to nature, and provide stewardship to the planet by recycling.I also plan to learn more about our imperfect American Political system and to help push forward ideas that will close the political division in our country.This book came at the perfect time in my life. It has encouraged me that rather than sitting on the couch as I retire, I will use my energy and days remaining on earth to make a difference, Whether it be through my three grandsons, my son, my friends (both old friends and the many new friends I’ll be meeting) I will strive to keep myself healthy, and proceed to do my part to help other people, the planet and all of God’s creatures to thrive on our wonderful planet as it spins though the infinite galaxy.

Good common sense concepts from Mr. Lee's perspective
Just okay. I feel the book presented some good common sense concepts in a different light, but also felt it was a bit self serving in promoting Mr. Lee's retreats and health centers that tend to be more expensive than the average person can afford.

An Essential Manifesto
Living to 120 may not be implausible at the rate we're going. The average human lifespan is getting longer and will average 85 years by 2050. Some experts say that 1 in 3 people will live to 100. Several countries have seniors well above the global average.Ilchi Lee's idea is that we have to design our life by age 60 as the midpoint, and it begins with our mindset. It may sound idealistic, but Lee's treatise makes perfect sense if we can use it as a guide. The book is easy to read, and like a long conversation. A good starting point when considering anything to do with life or ageing.
