I'm Not Done Yet: Keeping At It, Remaining Relevant, And Having The Time Of My Life
I'm Not Done Yet! is a lively primer on remaining relevant into the so-called retirement years. Ed Koch, the colorful three-term mayor of New York City and now a noted television and radio personality, columnist, and commentator, offers anecdotal evidence to suggest that the healthiest outlook on advancing age is to keep active at the work you love. Koch reflects on life after politics and life after turning seventy. The book takes readers through the author's various career turns since losing the Democratic mayoral primary to David Dinkins in 1989, with occasional looks back at related experiences and childhood memories. Included are discussions of the up and downturns of what Koch refers to as the third act of his varied career, and a frank account of his recent medical history. Published to coincide with Koch's seventy-fifth birthday, I'm Not Done Yet! ends with the author's vision of his own obituary, reflecting on the life he has lived and the choices he has made. Here, for the first time, he speaks openly about what it has meant to live a life alone-without a partner, without children-and what it might mean in the years ahead. By turns funny, candid, insightful, and unflinchingly honest, I'm Not Done Yet! is a fearless account of an extraordinary man's understanding of what it means to reach one's autumn years.I'm Not Done Yet! is a lively primer on remaining relevant into the so-called retirement years.

Modern Jewish Identity : A Rationalistic Motivation for Remaining Jewish
In Modern Jewish Identity: A Rationalistic Motivation for Remaining Jewish, Rudi and Ester Reisel take us on a fascinating journey through the biblical, philosophical, spiritual and ideological uniqueness of the Jewish people, their history and thought, and Judaism's ability to meet the social and scientific challenges in every generation. The Reisels use the biblical text and comments from traditional Jewish sources, including diverse sources such as A.B. Yehoshua, A.J. Heschel, Einstein, Prof. Y. Leibowitz, Rabbi J.B. Soloveitchik, Spinosa, and others to paint a pattern of unity and progress within Judaism and its effect on humanity as a whole. The Reisels argue for unity within Judaism based on stressing common denominators, mutual respect, pluralism, and democratic tolerance - which they contend is the basis of the bible's humanistic and prophetic message. For a twist, the authors also examine the origins of the dichotomy between science and religion. In addition, they demonstrate the curious connection between modern scientific understandings of energy and forces and the "Higher Power" of the bible..
