All around us, older women flourish in industry, entertainment, and politics. Do they know something that we don't, or are we all just trying to figure it out? For so many of us, our hearts and minds still feel that we are twenty-something young women who can take on the world. But in our bodies, the flexibility and strength that were once taken for granted are far from how we remember them. Every day we have to rise above the creaky joints and achy knees to earn the opportunity of moving through the world with a modicum of grace. Yet we do rise, because it's a privilege to grow old, and every single day is a gift. Peter Pan's mantra was "never grow up"; our collective mantra should be "never stop growing." This collection of user-friendly stories, essays, and philosophies invites readers to celebrate whatever age they are with a sense of joy and purpose and with a spirit of gratitude.
"Where are the elders? The wise women, the crones, the guardians of truth here to gently, lovingly, and playfully guide us towards the fulfillment of our collective destiny? It turns out that they are right here, in our midst, and Stephanie Raffelock is showcasing the reclamation of aging as a moment of becoming, no longer a dreaded withering into insignificance. A Delightful Little Book on Aging lays down new and beautiful tracks for the journey into our richest, deepest, and wildest years."
--Kelly Brogan, MD, author of the New York Times bestseller A Mind of Your Own

"This little book by Stephanie Raffelock unfolds gently. Like aging, it is raw and funny and quirky. It is not five easy steps but real stories and wisdom. It is resilience in action, acknowledging losses and unwanted changes of aging with moxie, humor, and grit."
--Frederic Luskin, PhD, cofounder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good and Forgive for Love

"Deeply compassionate, eminently readable, and filled with timeless wisdom and unbridled joy. Stephanie Raffelock will be your favorite new discovery. You're welcome."
--Jonny Bowden, board-certified nutritionist and best-selling author of Living Low Carb and The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth

"Filled with authentic stories and abundant insights, A Delightful Little Book on Aging is a heartwarming companion for anybody who wishes to age without sugarcoating the losses while continuing to live life with an open spirit. Stephanie Raffelock makes me look forward to my own golden years. Well done!"
--Andrea F. Polard, author of A Unified Theory of Happiness
