“This is a terrific book!  David Solie has beautifully integrated his knowledge of child development into later development. His fresh insights into the psychology of older adults combined with his practical approach to improving communication between the generations are to be applauded.”

“Geriatric psychologist Solie does an excellent job of debunking the myth that our elders are merely older versions of ourselves. Seniors are undergoing a developmental transition akin to adolescence; practical, effective communication methods are presented to help minimize generational conflict. This, in turn, paves the way for the important work of advocating for (instead of marginalizing) elders, who face a daily struggle for control. This (book) makes an important contribution to our cultural understanding of seniors."

“It doesn’t take too extensive a reading of demographic trends in America to know that David Solie has his finger on the pulse of the future. Unlike other books describing the crisis surrounding the aging issue, which point out myriad problems with no solutions, David actually offers a fundamental practical breakthrough in the most crucial area of all: Communication. His breakthrough has the quality of genius about it. When you read it you smack your forehead and  say, “Well, of course. It’s so obvious!” Millions of readers will have the same response.”

“This isn’t theory…it’s field reality…and David gives the reader practical, how-to tips that should resonate with all of us.  This book is a great gift for a financial advisor to give to all clients with senior parents. They’ll thank you for the lessons that they are not going to learn anywhere else.”

The book is wonderful in the dignity it offers the aged. It shows that they are often dealing with clusters of losses and could use support, not hurried answers. Readers will learn that the elderly are not being stubborn or meandering just to be difficult--instead, they are tending to the job of being old.
