DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Timeless wisdom on growing old gracefully from one of ancient Rome's greatest philosophers Worried that old age will inevitably mean losing your libido, your health, and possibly your marbles too? Well, Cicero has some good news for you. In How to Grow Old, the great Roman orator and statesman eloquently describes how you can make the second half of life the best part of all—and why you might discover that reading and gardening are actually far more pleasurable than sex ever was. Filled with timeless wisdom and practical guidance, Cicero's brief, charming classic—written in 44 BC and originally titled On Old Age—has delighted and inspired readers, from Saint Augustine to Thomas Jefferson, for more than two thousand years. Presented here in a lively new translation with an informative new introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, the book directly addresses the greatest fears of growing older and persuasively argues why these worries are greatly exaggerated—or altogether mistaken. Montaigne said Cicero's book "gives one an appetite for growing old." The American founding father John Adams read it repeatedly in his later years. And today its lessons are more relevant than ever in a world obsessed with the futile pursuit of youth.

Through personal stories and biblical examples, 936 Pennies will help you discover how to capture time and use it to its fullest potential, replacing guilt and regrets with freedom. Meanwhile, your kids will see how simple choices, like putting the cell phone down and going on a family hike, will make all the difference. Together you will stretch time and make it richer.

For young Mil Silver and his friends, this can only mean one thing: an exciting afternoon of box-carting! "Beneath him, Mil could feel the warm, squirming bodies of the other boys; their hot breath making the inside of the box even more stuffy and unpleasant.but before he could think of an excuse to bail out, he heard Sherry yell 'Bombs away!' .within seconds, the box was cart-wheeling down the hill like a shoe kicked down a flight of steps!" Imagine stuffing five boys in a cardboard carton and rolling it down the side of a mountain! Far-fetched as it sounds, this is only one example of the crazy things kids did in an era previous to video games, DVD's and MP3 players. Life was simple and children created their own fun. But things weren't always swell. When a race with his prized puries at stake goes dangerously wrong, Mil suddenly finds he has a lot more to worry about than just losing his marbles! Principal Bratton is furious and Mil's war with Belinda is about to get ugly!
