TAKING CHARGE 1, 2 & 3: COLLECTED STORIES ON AGING BOLDLY
VOLUME I: Taking Charge: Collected Stories on Aging Boldly
"Robert Frost once said "In three words I can sum up everything I learned about life—it goes on." Indeed it does, and Herb chronicles the journey integrating the research and the real-life happenings with wit and wisdom. He moves beyond the surface to explore the facts as well as the depth of feelings beneath it. In this era of speed and change, with eternal youth as a major goal, he takes the time to find the truth and then uses it to illuminate the many facts of aging with timeless observations delivered in lively readable portions." - Kathlyn Connell (Former Secretary of State of RI, Former State Director of AARP-RI) (READ MORE)
VOLUME II: Taking Charge: MORE Collected Stories on Aging Boldly
"Herb Weiss’s collection of 72 essays portrays how we can all age boldly. His book provides a refreshingly positive portrait of living longer. What is striking as you read each of his stories is that despite our culture’s general worship of youth, Herb’s “age beat” is a place that celebrates the increasing wisdom and experience that comes with longer lives. His writings offer the most human and best way of giving you the advice you need in a way you want: storytelling." - Sarah Lenz Lock (Senior Vice President for Policy, AARP; Executive Director, GCBH) (READ MORE)
VOLUME III: Taking Charge: Even More Stories on Aging Boldly
"Once again, Herb Weiss has illustrated and documented the joys, challenges, fears, hopes, and appreciation older age both for those in their later years and for those who wish to attain that status. Without his constant attention to the policies, problems and achievements of elder living, the tabula rasa of our lives would be missing the material and spiritual wisdom that continues to be written each day that we continue our sojourn on this planet."
