      As he nears his nineties, Rhee Kun Hoo reflects on his life and the search for happiness. The author, who was a psychiatrist and teacher in South Korea for many years, faces aging with clear eyes and a sense of humor. No one enjoys added ailments, slowing down, or watching their kids try to take over the parenting role. But advancing age does come with positives, including stepping away from daily pressures and having a better perspective on life. Rhee urges readers to make amends, forgive past slights, and get closer to family. It's not the time to put things off, so make that call, try that new hobby, and find the fun in everyday life. Regretting the past and fearing the future are wastes of time. With death hovering on the edge, there is still time to live life each day. The text is smoothly translated from Korean and adapted for English speaking audiences. Some of Rhee's references to Korean culture and ways may be new to some readers, but his message of living life without regrets and fear is sure to be relevant to all.
