As he enters what he considers to be his most influential and happiest time, Jimmy Carter gives us a deeply personal meditation on the new experiences that come to us with age. He paints a glowing portrait of his long, happy marriage to Rosalynn, a relationship that has grown deeper as they have grown older. He confronts issues we all experience as we age: retirement planning, new diet and exercise regimens, coping with age prejudice. Here, too, are fascinating sketches of world leaders and great thinkers President Carter has been privileged to know, and the valuable lessons on aging that they have shared with him. A gentle, humorous, moving book, "The Virtues of Aging" is a treasure for readers of all ages.
