We are living up to thirty years longer than people a few generations ago did. We live in a new period of history where we can live longer and with more vitality than people ever have. What does this extraordinary gift of a longer life mean for us? In Aging Strong Dr. Harris shows us this gift holds:

• a spiritual challenge to develop our life story and purpose;
• the opportunity to explore our creativity and discover new callings;
• a fertile ground for our souls to thrive and renew our sense of wonder;

• and, deeper emotional connections, wisdom, and newfound joy in living.

  This book is written for you if you want to thrive and find spiritual strength, wellbeing, wisdom, and wonder as you grow older. It is a guide for embracing a new reality and living the fourth quarter of your life creatively, lovingly, and joyfully.

The most exciting part of this gift is that the more we pursue a larger life by deepening and transforming ourselves as we grow older, the bigger our gift to our families, friends, community, and culture becomes. Let us recognize this challenge as one of the greatest opportunities in human history. Let us shape our lives from the inside out and be fully alive with grace and passion so that we may give this gift to ourselves, our families, our communities, our world.
