Thomas Moore is the renowned author of Care of the Soul, the classic number one New York Times best seller.

In Ageless Soul, Moore offers to listeners a fresh, optimistic, and rewarding path toward aging, one that need not be feared but rather embraced and cherished. In Moore's view aging is the process by which one becomes a more distinctive, complex, fulfilled, loving, and connected person.

Using examples from his practice as a psychotherapist and teacher who lectures widely on the soul of medicine and spirituality, Moore argues for a new vision of aging: as a dramatic series of initiations rather than a diminishing experience, one that each of us has the tools - experience, maturity, fulfillment - to live out. Subjects include:

• Why melancholy is a natural part of aging and how to accept it rather than confuse it with depression
• The vital role of the elder and mentor in the lives of younger people
• The many paths of spiritual growth and learning that open later in life
• Sex and sensuality
• Building new communities and leaving a legacy
