I listened to this audio
book with great enthusiasm; interested in what I thought would
be a curious and informative work. Sorry to say, I found my
mind wandering and had trouble following the subject matter.
I am not sure if the subject matter, aging, was simply uninteresting
or the narration quite dull. At my age, I am all ears when
it comes to anything new. Unfortunately, I did not hear anything
new. Mr. Gifford talks about the different viewpoints on hormones
(old stuff), and the fact that we are living longer (not news),
including the supposition that we are on a backward spiral,
but for me it produced sheer boredom. I have read other reviews
on this book, both by women and physicians, and according
to their reviews, this is a bestseller. I just cannot go there
on this one. Listening to the reasons why, the cures for,
and the future of, left me bored.
If you
are interested in hearing about the all the reasons why we
age, what can and can't be done about it, and where you go
from there, you may be interested in listening. I might suggest
that this book may need to be read to get all that you want
out of it. The most that anyone can get out of it is that
we are all destined to die and that's a fact. On the other
hand you can die trying to stay young, Either way, growing
old is a fact of life and nothing can be done about it.
