Review Tim Love wrote The Book That Gets Better with Age: Observations Through the Looking Glass of Aging to help older folks process life – past, present and future – and assist young people in letting go of things that hinder them now so they can live a fuller life as they age. There are 32 chapters in the book, almost every one of which has an accompanying illustration which brings the concepts to life more. The font also increases one point in each chapter, so you go from about 10/12 font size to 40 or so. It is fun and makes reading feel fast and easy. Tim asked different people the question "What gets better with aging?" Answers like "comfort rather than fashion," "enjoying the journey, rather than just racing to a destination," "doing what you want instead of what you should do," "having an easier time saying no," show wisdom and insight that both old and young can appreciate. I absolutely LOVE The Book That Gets Better with Age! Tim Love does an exceptional job presenting the different concepts. He has a great sense of humor and a good grasp of language. The chapters flow together and into the next so well, though each chapter can be read as a standalone. Also, select pieces of poetry and thoughtful quotes are sprinkled throughout the book. I find that I appreciate the wording and thoughts in these as I get older too. Poetry is a pain as a youngster. The flavor is so much better as you age – like a good wine. This book is so good. It will DEFINITELY go on my list of top favorite books. And I am already thinking of all the people that would appreciate getting it as a gift, including myself. Recommended for all ages. (Ashley Tetzlaff for Readers' Favorite)The Book That Gets Better with Age is a lot of fun.  It is a combination of wit and wisdom.  And everyone who is getting to be an old crock could use something that makes them feel better about the process. (Jacqueline Hornor Plumez, PhD: Award-winning Author and Psychologist; author of The Bitch in Your Head, Divorcing a Corporation and Mother Power)A collection of warm observations that brings the nod of a head, quite a few smiles and encouragement to follow a more rewarding path. (John Pepper, Former Chairman of P&G and The Walt Disney Co.)As this book abundantly illustrates, one thing that definitely gets better with age is wisdom. This is a wise and wonderful book. Enjoy! (Bill Hallamandaris, Chairman/Co-Founder: The Heart of America Foundation 2016-03-10)Inspirational, informational, incisive! This is a masterclass on how the baby boomer generation thinks, feels and acts and a superlative source of valuable information for marketing to them. Captured in punchy, everyday anecdotes that millions will relate to, this book underlines why Tim Love is one of the greatest marketing minds in business today. (Anthony A. Rose, Best-selling author; Chairman/CEO, House of Rose Professional, Global Authority on Public Relations and Influencer Marketing 2016-03-10)This zhihui de xiao shu (little book of wisdom) reflects much learning about Asian corporate culture. Seniority commands respect and trust. Wisdom comes with age. A 60-year-old politician is regarded young. Aging is graceful and rewarding process worth celebrating.

This is a fun read and would make a fabulous gift for someone ...
This is a fun read and would make a fabulous gift for someone turning 50’s gift (or even older) Due to the fact, I have grown older, the book feels like it was written about me. It makes you laugh and just know, been there done that! as you read it. The fact the print gets larger and I can actually read it with out my reading glasses near the end makes me chuckle. Thank you for the great read! I loved it !

Enjoyable and brilliant
The author, Tim Love, gives the art of aging a vibrant palette of colors in his newest release, The Book That Gets Better With Age. In each chapter he paints the mural of life with truth, humor, and heart! Some of my favorite insights come within the chapters of Truth Gets Easy, Forgiveness and The Sky. The fun is finding the chapters that resonate with your own experiences. This is an enjoyable read with brilliant moments of enlightenment for all.

love for his fellow babyboomers
Again, Tim is proving that his family name is not undeserved ! This is a charming book, full of empathy and, yes, love for his fellow babyboomers. Many a time, as a good advertising man, Tim holds the mirror to the reader and you can't help thinking, boy, do I relate to that.Even a Frenchman as myself can believe that "Tim is talking to me personally".The writing is direct, yet charming and elegant.En conclusion, un bon bouquin, Tim.

A lovely book...
A lot of truisms to be found here...truth be told, I hate getting older, but so many of Tim Love's little chapters made me smile and nod. My fave? The fact that I do look at the sky more closely these days...often the rising and setting sun are small highlights, liquid moments that I cherish and try to hold onto. When I was younger, I barely gave these events a passing glance...what a shame!

The brighter side of aging!
Tim Love's book offers preemptive wisdom for those yet to traverse through the journeys of life and a lovely reminder of the enlightenment that the perspective of age provides to those who already have. A lovely little book which puts a smile to your face and your mind.

I read THE BOOK THAT GETS BETTER WITH AGE in one sitting
I read THE BOOK THAT GETS BETTER WITH AGE in one sitting, and now I go back for bite-sized morsels of inspiration and entertainment. It’s on my bedstead now with Mark Twain’s WIT AND WISECRACKS, James Allen’s AS A MAN THINKETH and Norman Vincent Peale’s POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING.
