“Corinne Auman unpacks the complex world of aging in America with the knowledge, wisdom, and compassion to help us ALL. Everyone gets older and Corinne helps us plan so we can age well and support those we love as they show us the way.”
"Corinne Auman urges us to recognize this truth: if we live, we age. Our abilities will decline. We may need care, or we may end up providing care. We shouldn’t just hope things will go well, we need a plan. Keenagers predicts about 30 more adult years for us today than past generations had. We need to be wise about this time if we are “keen” to live them well. Auman opens the door to conversations about these extra years. The book is reader-friendly, filled with anecdotes, not heavy with statistics, but it leaves you wanting more information about living independently and with confidence about the future. Auman succeeds in nudging us in the right direction, of planning in addition to hoping and praying."
