About this audiobook
This Grammy-nominated recording is a thoughtful reflection about aging by President Jimmy Carter, the longest living president in American history. Even as life expectancy has increased over the centuries, the thought of aging continues to plague men and women around the world. In addition to worries about the physical aspects of aging, people also fear the prejudice that exists toward the elderly. But as President Jimmy Carter demonstrates, there are indeed virtues to aging, as he explores the spiritual and intellectual growth that often comes with old age. President Carter tackles such issues as planning for retirement, adopting new diet and exercise regimens, and coping with age prejudice. In addition to sharing valuable lessons on aging he learned from world leaders and great thinkers, Carter also reflects on his marriage to Rosalyn, a union that endured for more than 75 years. This inspiring audio, narrated by Carter himself, received a Grammy nomination for Best Spoken Word Album.
