Career correspondent and author Roy Rowan read many of these books, and found in them some good advice. Never Too Lateis no such manual. It is simply one mans views of the pleasures and potentials of old age based on a long life of adventure as a correspondent for the worlds leading magazinesand the lessons learned along the way from diverse groups of people, from the worlds most powerful leaders to some of the worlds most hapless individuals. Rowan interweaves quotes from experts in gerontology and other sage writers with his own experiences and insights. He addressesa spectrum of topics, including the subjectivity of thelabel old, the importance of optimism, and the fight to maintain independence as the years go by.
