About this audiobook
Our society worships at the fountain of youth, but are we missing out on an extraordinary stage in life? Daniel Klein ponders whether it is better to be forever young or to grin toothlessly and live an authentic old age. He journeys to the Greek island of Hydra to discover the secrets of ageing happily. Drawing on the lives of Greek locals, as well as philosophers, he uncovers the pleasures that are available only late in life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good reading for old men. Inspiring in a relaxing kind of way. And the narrator is very good, a lot easier to take than the other narrator doing the same title.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A perfect way to step into old age whilst going for a walk.
