But-if they think of the alternative-they all want one day to become one. As people approach their senior years, that hope strengthens as they realize only 5% to 15% of their life remains-if they're lucky.\u003cbr\u003ePeter Schroeder describes how to steer your life towards longevity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe shows there are only five ways to die-no alternatives-and one of these ways has your name on it. Ironically, each of these ways of dying is described by a single word beginning with the letter \"A\" easy to remember, hard to forget.\u003cbr\u003eNow in his mid-80s, the author recounts how as a 39-year-old diagnosed with terminal bone cancer, his doctors gave him only a few years to live. In looking for alternative medical systems, he traveled to an ashram in India where for three years two Ayurvedic healers helped him plan a \"serene and beautiful death.\" But to his doctors' amazement, the disease went into remission. Since then, Schroeder has reclaimed his once-active life for more than four decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs he contemplated his end of life, he narrowed the ways of dying down to only five. He gives readers a practical understanding of them and analyzes how people, as they age, might be able to influence their own personal passing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in a light-hearted and somewhat whimsical style, the book is not morbid or morose. Factual and gentle in style, it goes to the heart of this inevitable outcome we all face.","brand":"Richter Publishing LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45547751112855,"sku":"9781954094598","price":1659.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781954094598.webp?v=1768584082","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-octogenarian-handbook-delaying-the-5-ways-of-dying-9781954094598","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
