I might have read this book a little too early in my life as this book is all about how to deal with old age, failing bodies and death. Was it a total waste of time? No, it definitely gave me some keen insights and prepared me for some things I hadn't even considered as a 41 year old me.

Ever since I came across "Becoming Nobody" by Ram Dass I've really gotten to like his works and so far, I think he has been able to tell me how to 'live in the here and now', where others failed to.

One of the best things about this book is how Ram Dass talks about death and how according to his Guru, 'Dying is like taking off a tight shoe.' I really love that metaphor, because it's so simple to understand. Thanks to Ram Dass I have the believe once again that our souls are more than just this body and that we're only here to learn and experience.

I'll definitely have to re-read this book in thirty years, or so!
