"Only Martha could have written the definitive book on looking after ourselves as we grow older.

Wow - this book sounds great! I'm not really a fan of Martha's books but this one is super timely for me (just turned 40 last summer) and I'm really into all of these topics. Yay Martha!

What a beautiful picture of Martha on the cover. Look forward to reading this book.

Although I am not the intended audience for this book since I am under 40, I still can't wait to get this and read it cover to cover! No harm in educating myself early, and I sure what is good for me at 40+ is probably also good for me at 30. :)

I agree, Mary. I'm in my mid-30s but I'm very excited about this book. I first learned about it years ago when Martha mentioned on her TV show that she was working on it. My parents are fast approaching old age. I'm going to read it more for the caregiving tips and how to look after myself in the meantime.
