Synopsis:
In Still Here, Ram Dass offers a philosophy for aging that teaches us how to diminish our suffering despite the aches, pains, and limitations of age. This becomes possible when we step away from the ego-self and into the soul-self, where we can witness our thoughts and emotions and evaluate their effects on us. If aging has brought challenges to Ram Dass, it has also brought him wisdom, which, through his personal anecdotes and stories of others in the struggle against aging, he shares with great generosity. --Brian Bruya
Sam Keen,
bestselling author of Fire in the Belly
"Back then, when we were young and easy, Ram Dass taught us
to be fully present to our lives. Here and now we're not as young and
it's not so easy and he's still teaching us how to age with courage
and compassion."

Catastrophe Living
"Ram Dass continues to share his on-going journey with us to
our great benefit, as usual. He is wiser here, more sober, more
humble, and funnier than ever. There is so much to laugh about and
cry about, to learn from, and to celebrate together."
