This is not a book about aging or anti-aging. It is a book about growing older (growing up), which we all do from the moment we're born, and which is very different from growing old (growing down). The author proposes nine pointers that guide us on the way, and she coins a new word -- SAGING -- that expresses the joy of growing older and wiser.
