Reframing aging as "a passage of discovery and engagement", Palmer says, "Old is just another word for nothing left to lose, a time to take bigger risks on behalf of the common good." On the Brink of Everything is not a "guide to" or "handbook for" getting old. Instead, it's Palmer turning the prism of insight on his experience as a way of encouraging listeners to do the same with theirs. In elegant prose and lyrical poetry, he offers a set of meditations on the meanings of one's life - past, present, and future.

Poignant for any age

Another timely and insightful gift from Parker Palmer
Revisado: 04-05-19
A short but richly rewarding collection of essays and poems. Read and meditate on the wisdom shaped Palmer’s 80 years as a companion on the journey of life. Then, give this book to family and friends.

Tony and Emmy Award-winner Billy Crystal leads an all-star cast including Oscar winner Kevin Kline (President David Murray) and four-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening (First Lady Katherine Murray) in a performance of this hilarious and poignant story about a man desperately scrambling to put his affairs in order: to save his presidency, his marriage, his relationship with his daughter – and possibly his life.

Long known for his range and supple prose (he is the only writer elected to membership in both the Baseball Hall of Fame and the American Academy of Arts and Letters), Angell won the 2015 American Society of Magazine Editors’ Best Essay award for “This Old Man,” which forms a centerpiece for this book. This deeply personal account is a survey of the limitations and discoveries of great age, with abundant life, poignant loss, jokes, retrieved moments, and fresh love, set down in an informal and moving fashion.

A treasure
Revisado: 02-07-18
A wonderful collection of the wit and wisdom of the perceptive and extraordinarily gifted and legendary writer for The New Yorker. For those who know Angell best for his articles on baseball, you’ll get plenty here to recall and celebrate. But there is so much more in this treasure from the still vibrant mid-90 year old.
