Why Women Live Longer Than Men: ...and What Men Can Learn from Them

This book confirms what I have experienced as a man liveing in the American culture. Talking to my friends and relatives I am not alone in my experience.

I liked this book because it gave me a sense of what things I could do to make my later years better. The author categorizes the qualities that make life good in an easy-to-read style. They're such things as connectedness and spirituality. With the case studies, she shows the reader how these qualities make a difference. It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, we need to be reminded of what really counts. The only thing I don't like about the book is the title. It doesn't do the book justice. It should have been called something like "Aging Well." Men who need the advice probably won't read it anyway. Those who do will gain from its insights.
