A bucket list is a list of things to do before you die. This book is a guide to ways to live before you die. Whether you have a bucket list or not, the stories and insights in this book offer you seven clear ways to lighten-and enlighten-your life before you kick the bucket. George Simons and Walt Hopkins (international consultants in their midseventies) have lelearned a lot about living well while getting older-and they generously and intimately share those learnings with men and women concerned about ageing. If you are getting older-or if you know someone who is-this is a provocative, funny, and insightful guide to living a lively and meaningful life as the years go by. "With Mark Twain-like humor and age-old wisdom...it's a guide to kicking out what brings you down and picking up the things that make you happy."
