In 2015, Leland set out to meet members of America's fastest-growing age group: 85 and up. He anticipated learning of challenges, of loneliness, and of the deterioration of body, mind, and quality of life. But the elders he met lived with a surprising lightness and contentment, revealing the late stages of life as unexpectedly rich and the elderly as incomparably wise. Here are reflections on how to "live better"-- from those who have mastered the art.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Le Checked out 07/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Leland Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.26097 Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Leland Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Le Checked out 06/26/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Le Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Le Lost 12/11/2019 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Le Checked out 07/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
