Getting Old? – So What!

Jun 28, 2009 by Thomas

My mother Erika  just published her first book. It is called “Now You Are 60 or More: So What!”. She describes ways to stay young in mind and spirit. As she states in the foreword:

No matter what age you are now, you can adopt a new way of thinking which enables you to help yourself and others live healthy and happy lives with great longevity.

My mother experienced her childhood in the horrors of World War II. As a ten year old, she helped “find” food for the family. Towards the end of the war, she survived several aerial bombardments, one of which destroyed the family house. A heartless American pilot straffed her while she was trying to find left-over potatoes in a field. Her teenage years were spent under German re-construction.

My mother had ambitions of becoming a concert pianist and studied music at the Heidelberg Music Conservatory. Life had different plans for her, and in the 1950′s, she emmigrated to the United States.

My mother has already lived a long and interesting life, and has acquired a measure of wisdom that she imparts in this, her first book. I will push her to write the other books that still lay dormant within her.

You can purchase her book here.
