While there are a number of special features in this book, many of the tips are what I would call uncommon, others are more common ie. the science of fitness, nutrition and stress management. The book has a decidedly secular perspective, with quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll generously interspersed throughout. I especially enjoyed these.
I personally would have liked more attention to the end of life questions. Also, there might be too much attention to looking after oneself and not enough on acknowledging the need to honor commitments, need to make sacrifices, bear burdens and the like- which sometimes must be favored over just pure individual happiness.
There is a lot in this little book worth pondering...

Well, yes, that is if it is the title of a new book containing the collected wisdom of a group of 18 present and former world age-group champions in the sports of triathlon (swim-bike-run) and duathlon (run-bike-run), all of whom are over 75 years of age. That wisdom, in the form of 56 tips, each with commentary, is provided for (as it is said in the preface to the book): “everyone in mid-life and beyond who wants to be fit and well or, as we say, thriving and flourishing.”
The wisdom has been assembled by Dr. Don Ardell and Jack Welber, with the writing done principally by Dr. Ardell. It is a guide for living the wellness lifestyle that I can recommend to any multisport athlete, regardless of age. As one grows older, a process none of us can stop, you might well like to diminish the burdens of aging that so many others have to bear, and in fact become younger in functional terms. If any of the above are true for you, then this book is for you.
At age 82, it happens that I am about to start my 37th season in multi-sport racing, having done over 250 of them (although hardly at the national/world championship level [!]). Over time, I have developed my own approach to healthy aging. It happens (surprise, surprise) to have much in common with the philosophy in general and the tips in particular that are presented in this book. Thus I owe my own longevity in the sport — and my own experience with healthy aging — to following the major elements that bind together the tips that Dr. Ardell and Mr. Welber have assembled for this book. And by the way, unlike many books of this type, it is funny. Do enjoy the humor. Having it and appreciating it is an important part of healthy aging.
Dr. Ardell, it should be noted, was the first health care professional to take the term “wellness,” originally developed in a little-known book by Dr. Halbert Dunn, and project it onto the national stage. For this effort, beginning in the 1970s, Don became known as “the Dean of Wellness.” Since that time, as virtually every reader of this review knows, “wellness” has become an integral part of the health care vocabulary, although it has a variety of meanings for a variety of health and wellness care providers and practitioners.
In recent years, Dr. Ardell has taken the term to the next level: what he defines as the “Four Dimensions of REAL Wellness,” comprising Reason, Exuberance, Athleticism and Liberty. It is around those four dimensions that the book and its 56 tips from the champions is primarily organized.
What we try to do with wellness choices is to slow the speed and direction natural human physical and mental decline takes, for ourselves, for our benefit. Some at an older age have even turned their lives around in a positive direction, mentally and physically, by following the kinds of tips-for-wellness-and-healthy-living that the champions provide in this book. Choices are to be made when one reaches the stage of Not Dead Yet. This book shows you how you can make it one of the more enjoyable --- and health-promoting --- parts of your life. (By Steven Jonas, MD, MPH)
Although the book is framed in terms of the experiences of triathlon champions, the 56 tips apply to nearly anyone. Not once did I feel that the guidelines were attainable only by these 18 exceptional athletes, none of which were featured in terms of their accomplishments. The authors provided a high-level treatment of effective self-management regardless of vocation. The tips are the clearest, most positive, and valid statements about successful living that I have encountered. They ring true, giving me new levels of affirmation and expanding my vision of a future more rewarding than I had anticipated before reading the book.
You will want to revisit this book periodically to refresh your management of daily life.
