"I just finished this amazing book. What a gift! I've been wrestling with some of this stuff over the past few years. With my parents deaths, I was staring my own mortality in the face. Your beautiful book has given me great peace. I am on the right track. And I am comfortable and confident. Your own personal stories make it all so easy to comprehend. You take all the mystery and mystique out of these very difficult issues."
Ronne Froman, Admiral, United States Navy, COO, The City of San Diego and CEO, American Red Cross

"This wonderful book is the heart and soul of what it means to become the better version of yourself as you get older."

"Bravo! At last someone has pierced the veil and uncomfortable process of getting older. A masterpiece!"

"An inspirational guide for aging with confidence packed with insight and wisdom for living life to its fullest. A must read."
- John Gray, Author, Men are from Mars Women are from Venus, Beyond Mars and Venus

"Ken Druck is a national treasure! A magnificent man with a huge heart and a deep well of wisdom to match, he has never retreated from engaging directly - and honestly - with life's most challenging issues. Ken explores the fears, aversions, and neuroses our culture has surrounding the process of aging. He joyfully debunks most of them, and offers us - instead - a clear path to re-envisioning our "elder years" as a time of great freedom, awakening, and vibrant living. He invites us to fearlessly immerse ourselves in the wisdom we have cultivated over the course of many, many decades. Our tendency to see the "senior" phase of life as a time of meaninglessness, irrelevance, and decline is unique to our modern western world. In Courageous Aging, Ken Druck assures us that the cultural paradigm we have bought into is not true... and that we really might - literally - enjoy this sacred time more than all the previous phases of our life. This is a spectacular, ground-breaking book, and I HIGHLY recommend it!""
John Welshons, author of One Soul, One Love and Awakening from Grief

The perfect title for the perfect book on aging. I was so pleased reading it; I read and reread chapter 10: Irreverent, Vibrant and Audacious Aging. Thank you for this delightful read.
