Approximately 10,000 baby boomers turn 60 every day. Thats approximately 3.5 million people a year who will be celebrating this event in North America. We have the perfect gift of reading for the 60-somethings in your life. 60 Things To Do When You Turn 60 is a thoughtful, humorous, and sometimes provoking collection of essays written by people from all walks of life on the subject of turning 60.
I started reading this on my 60th birthday, but I kept it in "the Reading Room," and it was great to read a short chapter at a time. But then some of the chapters were about religion and/or spirituality, so I didn't think the "Reading Room" was an appropriate place for the book, and it ended up in the TBR pile. But one of my goals for the year is to go out of my comfort zone, so I pulled it out of the TBR pile and began reading in earnest.
I really like the format of short essays, and while not all of the advice was for me -- I doubt I will be going fishing in the near future, there is great advice about finance, health care, and personal growth. This is part of a series, by decade, and I am hoping to read "70 Things to Do When You Turn 70" in 8 years.
