This portable pick-me-up contains insights into the dimensions of how we can attempt to achieve long life. But as we cannot possibly know in advance what our allotted time is, it would be futile to waste whatever lifetime we do have in worrying about it. For centuries, philosophers, poets, scientists, and dreamers have dwelled upon the meaning of life and ways in which we might prolong it. Here in this book, new thoughts united with voices from the past help us in our quest for answers. One thing, however, is absolutely certain - it is up to each and every one of us to make sure that we enjoy our stay here on earth, however long the ride lasts!
