It's better to be over the hill than under it Book

I listened to this book on tape and really enjoyed it. The author seemed very wise, meaning I agreed with most of what she said. The book was 75 selections from regular columns LeShan writes on aging. She covered the topics of marriage, friendship, retirement, grandchildren, health, money, etc. She encouraged readers (or listeners, in my case) to love, grow, accept, and continue to keep their minds "alive and receptive". Recently, I sent a notice to the church secretary to put in the bulletin saying someone had died. When
I read the bulletin it said, "passed away." I don't think I've ever used that term. I asked her about it and she said she wanted to use a word that would not offend anyone. No big deal. Anyway, LeShan is talking about the subject and says, "People die, there's no better way to say it and no need to tone down the facts." See why I think LeShan is so wise?
