Shanti Project founder and author

"Inviting, illuminating, and informative, Our Wisdom Years offers great inspiration while meeting a growing personal and cultural need: new ways to live our later years with joy and fulfillment."

David Sheff, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Beautiful Boy and Clean

In Our Wisdom Years, Dr. Garfield skillfully and practically guides readers through nine tasks that can transform the struggles of aging, bringing fulfillment, joy, and serenity. Drawing on the understandings that come from both his work as acclaimed “success guru” in the 1980s and the truths distilled from volunteering with those at the end of life, Garfield offers a fresh, uplifting vision of the wholeness that awaits us.

Peace, my heart, let the time for parting be sweet.
