Used book – The Good Life after 70, Philippe Bouvard

Aging is an achievement: the proof is that not everyone gets there. Philippe Bouvard, for his part, can boast of having reached the age of reason with complete serenity. Dismissed, then recalled to revive, in every sense of the word, "Les Grosses Têtes", he has lost none of his optimism and vivacity. The result is this book, which celebrates "seniority" in its own way: like cholesterol, there's the bad kind, which is pronounced "old age," and the good kind, which is called "experience." Bouvard has chosen his side. In his seventies, he finds life decidedly beautiful. And, with the impertinent tone that made his reputation, he delivers here an exhilarating and stimulating reflection on this age that is called "great."
