This was wonderful, I loved it, I am going to listen to it again. this has changed the way I feel.

THE Best Ever

There will be no greater influence in my life than Ram Dass. This is him at his best, in his prime talking about a subject that should be important to anybody who is over the age of 40 and who feels compelled to prepare for the journey of aging. This material is simply a gift from God…

Awe inspiring!

What made the experience of listening to Conscious Aging the most enjoyable?

Conscious Aging is an unbelievable journey which has touched my mind, my heart and my spirit. Ram Dass is funny, irreverent, full of insight, down to earth and truly inspiring to the point of actually changing the way I think of myself and my ailments. I have been ill recently and listening to this book has actually lifted my spirits and made me change the way I think of aging. Truly awesome!!!

What did you like best about this story?

The frankness of Dass' speech, yet so eloquent.

Which scene was your favorite?

How he relates poetry and literature into his speech and uses different cultural references to make a point.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The part about how we approach dying was difficult, yet very helpful in seing things in a different light. Dass grabs our fear of dying by the horns and cradles it with meaningful insight that makes the fear less intense, and for lack of a better word, less scary.

Any additional comments?

I will listen to this speech many more times to absorb all the nuances of his insight.

Ram Dass on ageing and death

I have always found Ram Dass very endearing. He is funny, smart, willing to admit his own weaknesses, direct, gentle, and helpful. I found this book satisfying, and will listen to it many times to try to keep the eternal perspective he talks about. You would probably have to be on some kind of spiritual path, or at least be open to talk about souls to get through it, of course. Hearing him age gracefully and with his humor intact is inspiring to me, and I recommend this book to people who fear ageing and death.
