Summary

Aging isn't easy. But it can still be filled with joy - maybe even more joy than we expect. Described by the New York Journal of Books as "a Buddhist Anne Lamott," Susan Moon offers a Zen approach to facing our impermanence. Joining levity with tenderness, Moon shares stories from her own life - including knee replacements, Zoom chats with grandchildren, the loss of friends, and a season as a Zen monk in the wilderness - to show that strength can come from within, sometimes unexpectedly, even as our bodies fail. These field notes from an old human being invite us to feel alive in the final stretch, whatever it holds
