- A "look at what it means to grow old and a ... guide to well-being, [this book] weaves together the stories and wisdom of six New Yorkers who number among the 'oldest old'--those eighty-five and up"--Dust jacket flap
- In 2015, Leland set out to meet members of America's fastest-growing age group: 85 and up.

Here are reflections on how to "live better"-- from those who have mastered the art
