Happiness Is a Choice You Make - by John Leland (Paperback)

Happiness Is a Choice You Make is an extraordinary look at what it means to grow old and a heartening guide to well-being, weaving together the stories and wisdom of six New Yorkers who number among the "oldest old"--those eighty-five and up.

Despite disparate backgrounds and circumstances, they each lived with a surprising lightness and contentment.

This book is an enduring collection of lessons that emphasizes, above all, the extraordinary influence we wield over the quality of our lives.

With humility, heart, and wit, Leland has crafted a sophisticated and necessary reflection on how to "live better"--informed by those who have mastered the art.
