Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Written in the voice of an elderly Roman statesman named Cato, this book explores the topic of aging, its challenges, and its silver linings. An esteemed politician, Cato feels well-placed to give advice and counsel to younger generations about what to expect in their own old age, and more importantly, how to face it with courage. Cato argues that 'the privilege of old age' is a unique and valuable one â" one that deserves to be cherished, even as it brings with it a new set of circumstances. The author uses his own life and experiences as examples, citing many personal anecdotes to demonstrate how he has adapted to old age. He also incorporates Greek wisdom on the topic, and sprinkles famous sayings throughout the text. This book is a meditation on morality, and ethics as much as it is on aging, and will appeal to readers interested in philosophy and history. Above all, it contains hard-won wisdom and guidance from one who has traversed the path of life before us and lived a long and fruitful existence.
