More than thirty years ago, an entire generation sought a new way of life, looking for fulfillment and meaning in a way no one had before. Leaving his teaching job at Harvard, Ram Dass embodied the role of spiritual seeker, showing others how to find peace within themselves in one of the greatest spiritual classics of the twentieth century, Be Here Now. Now, as many of that generation enter the autumn of their years, the big questions of peace and of purpose have returned, demanding answers. And once again, Ram Dass blazes a new trail, inviting all to join him on the next stage of the journey.

After being introduced for a lecture, Ram Dass eschewed the stairs and, from his front row seat, leapt up on to the stage--or tried to, anyway, until age and gravity brought him crashing down to earth. Like other Baby Boomers, Ram Dass has learned the hard way that ageing is unkind. But he has also learned that it can be an opportunity for growth. While others begin to devalue older people, they will find that they can reconnect with the spiritual, grow into wisdom, and create value for themselves. In Still Here, Ram Dass offers a philosophy for ageing that teaches how to diminish suffering despite the aches and pains and limitations of age. This is possible by stepping away from the ego-self into the soul-self, where thoughts and emotions can be witnessed and their effects evaluated. If ageing has brought challenges to Ram Dass, it has also brought him wisdom which, through his personal anecdotes and stories of others in the struggle against ageing, he shares with great generosity. --Brian Bruya

'Ram Dass has entered the often stormy relationship between our physical and spiritual sides, and he has lived to tell about it.

Listen up, everybody, while Ram Dass tells it like it is' (Larry Dossey, MD, author of Reinventing Medicine a )
