5.0 out of 5 stars How to Feel Good as You Age, March 23, 2000
John Barnett writes from personal experiece about getting the most out of life and death issues. He covers in an easily read and interesting way such issues as valuing your body, mind and spirit; how good nutrition helps to avoid disease; interacting with your doctor, caregivers and family; ways to stay in control of your life from your home, legal and financial options and determining when it's time to move; taking actions to leave your legacy stamped with your own personality that will help others to celebrate your individuality.

He deals with the sensitive subject of facing death and offers suggestions from his experience as a hospice worker who often interacts with dying people. A most helpful chapter is dealing with the death of a loved one, or your own death, helping to seek inner peace, and where this can take place. Good information is given to help us to know what happens as the body system shuts down and how the dying person enters the death experience in the last days and hours. He gives excellent suggestions as to what the family needs to do immediately after death, kinds of funerals and burials (there are more than one), informs about normal grieving for spouses, family and friends and then enters a discussion on the spouse being single again and socializing.

He writes an easy reading style with sensitivity and gives practical and helpful material. He lists books, web sites, and places where the reader can get more information. The book has an excellent index. Those sources alone are worth the book. Some issues are covered with the idea that more information is available in the sites listed. Other areas are dealt with in detail. He has an excellent balance of sharing information.

One quickly discovers that he is knowledgeable in this field. The bibiliography reveals the breadth of reading in this area. He balances theory, with his practical experiences of his profession. When he was diagnosed with Cancer, he began a search on how to become a survivor. He is a survivor and has shared his insights with us.

It is a book every family should have in its stack of important books. This book is an excellent resource for medical, social workers, clergy, teachers, families. I recommend it. It helps us to deal with basics of living.
