    About this ebook

    This compact volume--a true Soul*Spark--is an ideal gift for elders, as well as for all who are aging.

    Throughout history most successful and long-lived civilizations have held a place of respect for elders, and have benefited from their life wisdom. Sages are elders who have gracefully accepted the passage of time, integrated their life experience with understanding, and made the fruit of their long experience available to others.

    But how does one do this? How does one grow wiser as one grows older?

    By drawing from the wisdom of the ages, Keys for Adept Aging opens up a range of thoughtful pathways for cultivating soul maturity. Readers will be enriched.

    "As tens of thousands of baby boomers enter their 60's each day, this little gem is a timely addition to books on aging...it makes a great gift for the elders in your life. Highly recommended." - Amazon reader

    "This book is a real soul-searching piece of writing...this would make a fantastic gift to any older family members."  - Lesley Jones for Readers' Favorite

    This book was originally published under the title "Teach Us to Number Our Days," That title suggested a specific religious orientation. As readers shall discover, in this small treasure the keys for adept aging are drawn from many of the world's wisdom traditions. This little book—a Soul*Spark—strives to faithfully acknowledge and embrace that reality.
