"This is a book that will comfort anyone afraid of growing old. It sheds new light on vital aging." --Walter F. Mondale, former Vice President, Senator and Ambassador "As a generation, baby boomers have long been called 'the rat in the python.' Claiming Your Place at the Fire challenges us to be the python, not the rat--and to start by shedding our generational skins. This book is thoughtful, warm, helpful, and above all else, wise." --Alan M. Webber, Founding Editor, Fast Company
