First sentence: MY MOST memorable learning experience about aging took place when I myself was still rather young, in my early thirties.
Description: "This book is the fruit of Larry Rosenberg's years of practicing and teaching death awareness. Using a text known as the Five Subjects for Frequent Recollection, he shows how intimacy with aging and mortality can be a means to liberation: when we become intimate with death, he writes, we also become profoundly intimate with ourselves, with others, indeed with all things."--Jacket.
