<div>Dr. Gordon Livingston鈥檚 national bestseller, <em>Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart,</em> has drawn tens of thousands of readers who have embraced its thirty bedrock truths about life and how best to live it. Now, in <em>And Never Stop Dancing,</em> Dr. Livingston 鈥?a Vietnam War veteran, psychiatrist, and parent twice bereaved 鈥?offers thirty more true things we need to know now.<br />

<br />

The fresh truths Dr. Livingston explores include: Paradox governs our lives. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. We are defined by what we fear. As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.<br />

<br />

Once again, here are Dr. Livingston鈥檚 sterling qualities: a deep understanding of the emotional tumult that courses through our lives 鈥?our hidden hypocrisies, desires, and evasions; an unerring sense of what is important; and his own ability to persevere 鈥?to hope 鈥?in a world he knows to be capable of inflicting unjustifiable and lifelong suffering.<br />

<br />

These qualities 鈥?plus his perfectly pitched sense of humor and a singular voice 鈥?add up to another extraordinary book 鈥?one which, like its predecessor, offers us a gentle, generous, and unusual alternative to the trial-and-error learning that makes wisdom such an expensive commodity.</div>
