I feel many of my readers (from the emails I get and stats, there are quite a few of you) may be interested by what I will say here.<\/p>\n<p>A very good friend of mine, Peter Schwarz, just wrote a book. The title of the book is, as you may have guessed, &#8220;Staying young for life&#8221;. A picture of the book can be seen here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/micho.org\/cayblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/cover.gif\" title=\"cover.gif\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stayingyoungforlife.com\" title=\"cover.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/micho.org\/cayblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/cover.gif\" alt=\"cover.gif\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Peter gave me a copy a copy of his book when I was in Montreal a month or so ago. I read the book in only a few sittings and found it to be an entertaining and exceptionally refreshing book. Peter writes about all kinds of strange experiences and funny situations he has been in and how he has stayed &#8220;young&#8221; all of these years. I have known Peter for almost 13 years now and I must say, I have never met anyone like him.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, so whats the big deal you may be saying! Who is this Peter guy and why would he be writing about how to stay young? Here is the punch : Peter is 89 years old! He is legally blind yet typed the book 100% on his own on his personal computer, got it published and is now selling it on his website and on Amazon.com very soon. He also still travels extensively, works 6-7 days a week at his travel business and is 100% &#8220;all there&#8221;. He always gets the newest gadgets and uses the Internet extensively. He even created his own Facebook profile! How many 89 year olds do you know who do that? Peter is in many ways &#8220;younger&#8221; than many people who are 30 years younger than he is. If you ever struck up a conversation with Peter, you would never know he is almost 90 years old.<\/p>\n<p>In his book, Peter talks about when he met the Dalai Lama, bought a Harley-Davidson at the age of 75, met Lyndon Johnson, Audrey Hepburn &amp; Huphrey Bogart, owned a nightclub and many other amazing situations. If the name &#8220;Forrest Gump&#8221; comes to mind, you would be right on. I know for a fact those events happened, since over the years, Peter has showed me some of the pictures of those celebrity meetings. This book is not at all theoretical! Its all life experiences and how staying young is all attitude and has nothing to do with the date written on your drivers license.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend this book for people of all ages, as it will give you a new perspective on life and make some of your problems look quite small compared to the trouble Peter has ran into in his life and how he deal with it, something he discusses in his book.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and to get a copy of this book, simply visit<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stayingyoungforlife.com\">http:\/\/www.stayingyoungforlife.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the record : Peter is not paying me any commissions on sales.
