There is something within us that never grows old and this inexplicable, incomprehensible force, or 'heart' - our capacity to love and to desire - is what keeps human beings alive. So argues clinical psychologist Marie de Hennezel in this warm, wise and comforting book. Her eloquent words examine the art of growing old, how to avoid depression, how to stay happy, how to enjoy a fulfilling love life and how to maintain energy in our hearts. In doing so, she provides the key to a rich, rewarding and fruitful old age.
