Book excerpt: In Britain today there are probaby over ten million people who are more than sixty-five years old, and their life expectancy has risen from the proverbial three score and ten to between seventy-five and eighty-five years of age. This booklet is written in the hope that it will help the elderly deal with these changes of mind and body so that they may get at least as much happiness out of this time of life as they did in their earlier years.
