This is a book full of wisdom and humanity which shares a vast knowledge of medicine, love and aging. There are eighty million baby boomers on the horizon caught between their parents and their children and wondering what is ahead. This book tells so much about aging, growing wise and having a sense of humor in the process. No need to be glum about growing older.
Dr. Shapira shows us through his vast experience with older people that getting older can mean getting better.
The book is a wonderful personal story, a reference book, spiritual message, medical resource and family guide on every aspect of aging. It will help people by learning about themselves through other people’s examples.
Dr. Shapira practiced dentistry for over thirty years. After suffering a life-altering injury, he left his practice to pursue a degree in another care-giving profession, clinical gerontology. He has published over one hundred professional articles and has lectured extensively.
In 2008 he was invited by the Chinese government to teach hospice care and geriatric medicine and nursing courses to over 500 physicians, nurses and dentists in Taiyuan , China.
It will be a very interesting and lively event.
