Elder Cool Time

Review:
Elder Cool Time by John H. Green, PhD speaks of elder cool as a time to teach, a time to weep, a time to laugh and a time to embrace. Dr. Green tells us that facing and embracing the aging process involves fears, tears, and cheers.
He describes "Elder" as representing a life-experienced teacher, and "Cool" to mean accepting the aging process with grace and dignity. Actions and words he tells us contribute to being "Elder Cool."
Reflections, quotes, short stories and poetry speak of the problems we all face as we age. Humor laces the pages of Elder Cool Time, making it a delightful read.
He describes Pope John Paul II as a "Classic Elder Cool." And, FSU Seminole fans will be pleased to see Bad Bobby Bowden as a "noted Elder Cool."
Elder Cool Rules of what's hot and what's not will help you decide whther you are elder cool. I think Dr. Green has introduced a concept that will be used by many to promote "It's Cool to be Elder Cool."
