 Rating: - Wonderful!!What a wonderful book! The most fun book I've read in a long time. Makes perfect sense. What took so long for this one? Rating: - It Really IS "Up To Us!"As one who has admired Dr. George Schofield's mind and work for years, I am delighted that he has finally chosen to share his research and perspectives on this very significant life intersection.

George Schofield wisely and in a very readable format lays it out for us: now that we are here, what do we need to do to take care of ourselves, our families and the rest of our lives.? Schofield is smart, practical and gave me a lot of think about. I would reccomend this book to all those babyboomers who never trusted anyone over 30, and are now in our 40's 50's and 60's! Yipes!
