This Action Guide for men 50 and over is full of practical advice, offered in a healthful, positive, and confident manner.  In the book's introduction, Lindeman says "To be an older man, in our society, is to wear your years well, and to feel pride in being a tribal elder, a successful ager, someone who has lived and erred, but who has contributed, and made our earth station a better place."
