  <default_description>After being introduced for a lecture, Ram Dass eschewed the stairs and, from his front row seat, leapt up on to the stage--or tried to, anyway, but age and gravity brought him crashing back to earth. Like other baby boomers, Ram Dass has learned the hard way that aging is unkind to the body. But he has also learned that it can be an opportunity for growth. While others begin to devalue you, you can reconnect with the spiritual, grow into wisdom, and create value for yourself. In &lt;I&gt;Still Here&lt;/I&gt;, Ram Dass offers a philosophy for aging that teaches us how to diminish our suffering despite the aches, pains, and limitations of age. This becomes possible when we step away from the ego-self and into the soul-self, where we can witness our thoughts and emotions and evaluate their effects on us. If aging has brought challenges to Ram Dass, it has also brought him wisdom, which, through his personal anecdotes and stories of others in the struggle against aging, he shares with great generosity. &lt;I&gt;--Brian Bruya&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Moving book, I read it just before my father was felled by a stroke and died 10 days later.  It was enormously helpful with me being able to be with him in the best way possible at this time.  Ram Dass had a stroke too, and recounts it from the inside in this book.  He's still here, though.

    <body><![CDATA[Ram Dass speaks frankly about Aging, Changing and Dying. I read this book in bed, when I was very ill and thinking that I might die. It was a comfort to read from someone a bit farther on the aging path but still thinking about life and death and the meaning or non-meaning of it all. <br/><br/>]]></body>
