I've now sent this book to three people as gifts. This is a marvelous gift from all these famous 80-year-olds, to tell their stories of how they got there. Because each profile is in the first-person, I really feel as though I got to know many of these extraordinary people.

A wonderful read for anyone who thinks they're getting

on in years and wants to know how the 80plus set

keeps it interesting. It's a "How To" book that should be

on every night table and coffee table.

This book is a must read for anyone who is 80, or who plans on being 80 one day. Your parents or grandparents will enjoy this book since they can compare their thoughts, feelings and experiences with those of the stars and celebrities they followed throughout their lives. Younger readers, and that means anyone not yet on social security, will learn how the 80 famous people discussed in this book have handled aging so gracefully, and with so much vitality. This is an inspirational book which reminds us that age need not affect how a person chooses to live life, and that life holds great rewards for anyone -- including people over 80 -- who choose to remain young at heart.

This book was such an inspiration. I am 43 and so hope I can live until I'm 80+. The participants were honest, good and bad, about growing old in such a youth crazed world. I am going to buy at least 4 copies, from Amazon of course, for Christmas presents this year. A great wealth of knowledge.

This book is so entertaining and interesting... and will make you realize you don't have to get old... These people didn't!

I bought this for my dads 80th birthday. It was an interesting book; I dont know if he was so crazy about it but I thought it was a good book.

Excellent book! Enjoyable and interesting. It's a great 80th birthday gift! My grandma loves it!

This item was listed as new but arrived used. In fact, it was a library book, complete with the name of the library stamped on the pages and library stickers on the cover. Very unhappy!!!
