Start Life Afresh at 60!
The specific question “I would like to know from you, your own personal experiences and prescription for longevity and happiness in old age” posed by a friend triggered the highly active and energetic centenarian author Thiagarajan to write this book.
Addressing the reader both as a friend and a counselor, he freely shares in a lucid style the secrets for successfully tackling one’s post retirement phase. He provides practical guidelines learnt during his lifetime to help one gracefully reach 100 and beyond with contentment and peace of mind. Men and women in their fifties and sixties but also the youngsters who wish to take better care of their own family elders will find this book extremely handy and practically useful.
