This book was amazing. It accomplished something that very few books can: to change my mindset in a complete 180. In my life I haven't truly had the need to engage with older people on a daily basis, but I know that's going to invariably change, and I feel like this book kind of prepared me for those coming times.

It gave me a new outlook on the importance of taking care of our elders, provided me with facts that show just how little we tend to them and how big of a taboo it is in our current societies.
Super important read that I would recommend to anyone over the age of 20.
