Joan Chittister (Get this book) Here are two more self-help books aimed at the generation that refuses to grow old. In "The Gift of Years", Benedictine sister Chittister beautifully downplays regrets and accents the rewards of a mature life. While she acknowledges the pain of old age, she focuses on the new beginnings that life can offer at this stage and discusses the need to stay involved, to put one's affairs in order, and to be open to new relationships. Both books offer excellent information and would make a positive contribution to any public library's collection.--Library Journal
