I've Never Been Old Before

About the Book

“I’ve Never Been Old Before” is a collection of essays about the surprises and the challenges of becoming a senior citizen. The author takes us through his various stages of growing older with some humor along the way.

Some of the difficulties that may be encountered as we age are also discussed. Gene explains how he was able to confront and overcome them. He shares the process he used to redefine himself and to attain self-change. Through these methods, Gene has created a life of serenity and new meaning. The reader is urged to consider using a similar approach to improve the quality of their senior years.

Part memoir, part self-help, the book is a kind of do-it-yourself kit for the senior citizen. It’s a way of not only surviving old age but a way to create a productive and enjoyable life. Gene’s position is that the Golden Years provide a wonderful opportunity to add real value to one’s life. There is much time available for a person to continue enjoying love and happiness. Gene invites the reader to use some of his methods to make their own years Golden. He promises that there really is, “gold in them thar years”.
