5.0 out of 5 stars
A joy to read--well written and insightful.,
By wradford@usit.net (Hopkinsville, Ky.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dear Old Man: Letters to Myself on Growing Old (Paperback)
One of the most enjoyable and thought-provoking books that I have read in quite a while. This is the type of book that after the first ten pages I decided to purchase additional copies for all my family members and friends. Anyone with aging friends or relatives should read this book, file it, and read it again every few years. The book is a quick read but is well crafted and insightful. Every family should be familiar with Dr. Wells new book, and hopefully not his last.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An incomparable guide,
By David Robertson (Vanderbilt University) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dear Old Man: Letters to Myself on Growing Old (Paperback)
There are few books with as much good advice as this one. After his successful career as a physician and medical school professor in the practice of psychiatry and aging, Dr. Wells turned his life experiences into this succinct book of advice, and writes these 38 letters in midlife to the person he will become in old age. It works because he does not mince words. His advice is entertaining, engaging, and no topic is beyond the pale. I have given copies to many patients and friends. There is nothing around comparable to it in its incisiveness. It is destined to be a true classic.
