Reviews
Dr. Guerrasio is an incredibly interesting and entertaining writer. She tells a story that you cannot wait to keep reading. I think this book might be the secret ingredient we all need as we contemplate aging. After reading Embrace Aging, I feel more confident about what my future holds.--Natalie B., 52 Dr. Guerrasio's book has challenged and changed me. Even though I am in the midst of my 87th year, I no longer consider myself aged or elderly, but aging. I am a work in progress. I loved Dr. Guerrasio's warmth, vast medical knowledge, and gentle humor, so present in the book. The way she engages the most difficult, complex, and uncomfortable subjects is remarkable. Embracing Aging is a resource for anyone, regardless of their age, wishing to move forward confident and well-informed as they address their ongoing journey.--Jim B., 87 Embrace Aging is so incredibly well written and easy to understand. Dr. Guerrasio is a brilliant doctor. Thank you for sharing this information.--Barb F., 74 This book helps you find your aging superpowers!

Dr. Guerrasio's book provides helpful information on managing so many diverse medical and life issues.

I highly recommend this book for all of us to age well, with grace and vigor.--Dr. C, author of Possibilities with Parkinson's: A Fresh Look Dr Guerrasio's compassion for seniors shines throughout this book.
