Epigraph

Dedication

To my children Dennis, Nancy and Barry, who will come into
midlife at a time when, I am hopeufl, our world will under-
stand that sixty-five is the speed limit, not the age limit.
-- Connie Goldman

For my aunt, Lucie Yeaman, our family's most inspiring role
model for creative, positive, and life-affirming aging.
-- Richard Mahler

First words

[Foreword] In Secrets of Becoming a Late Bloomer, Connie Goldman and Richard Mahler confirm in a striking way what I have believed for some time: we need a brand-new image of aging.

[Introduction] We call this book Secrets of Becoming a Late Bloomer not only because we think it's a catchy title but because it describes exactly what we wish to share with you.

Some Late Bloomers are legendary.

[Afterthought] Throughout this book, the collective "we" has been used to reflect the view of the co-authors.
