Summary: As we enter the years beyond midlife, our quest for an approach to ageing takes on added urgency and becomes even more relevant in our daily lives. Empowering a new generation of seekers to view aging as a spiritual path, authors Robert Weber and Carol Orsborn reveal that it is by engaging with the difficult questions about loss, meaning, and mortality - questions we can no longer put off or ignore - that we continue to grow. In fact, the realisation of our full spiritual potential comes about not by avoiding the challenges aging brings our way but by working through them.
