Still Here: Embracing Aging, Changing, and Dying

By Ram Dass

He was most of the way through a book about ageing when a 1997 stroke left him aphasic and in a wheelchair — so he rewrote it from inside the experience. What emerges is tougher and more honest than the book he planned, including his rage at the stroke and his slow arrival at calling it "fierce grace." One of the few genuinely useful books about growing old.
