Summary: We live in a time of change, a new era where old men can aspire to maintain health as well as maintain dignity and fulfillment in frailty. Old Man Country helps readers see these possibilities for themselves and their loved ones. The book follows the journey of a writer in search of wisdom as he encounters twelve distinguished American men over 80 -- including Paul Volcker, the former head of the Federal Reserve, and Denton Cooley, the world's most famous heart surgeon. In these and other intimate conversations, the book explores and honors the particular way that each man faces the universal challenges of living a good old age. |
