LeShan's central thesisthat old age is neither a heaven nor a hell but that the individual can live it with styleis hardly original, but the understanding with which she presents suggestions on coping with its vicissitudes makes this book worth reading. In her 18th volume, family counselor and columnist LeShan opines that flexibility is the name of the game and that those over 60 who keep growing will have the best senior citizenship. She interviewed many older people and presents consensus thinking on physical changes, particularly the ability to accept limitations; preparations for retirement and what to do when it arrives; making adjustments in all family relationships; widowhood and approaching death. Anyone past middle age will enjoy it. The book is printed in large type for easy reading. First serial to Woman's Day.

LeShan has to her credit a long list of books written to help children and adults understand and cope with crucial events in their lives. Here she deals with growing old. In a style characterized by honesty, sensitivity, practicality, and much feeling, she examines such issues as adjusting to change, sickness and health, grown children, grandchildren, aged parents, and widowhood. She has something to say to us all about how to face our own old age, whether close or far off, and about how to be more sensitive to the old people in our liveshow to love them as best we can. With a regard for older readers the book is printed in large type. Highly recommended. John Moryl, Yeshiva Univ. Lib., New York
