"Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young." So said W. Somerset Maugham, one of the 52 people whose achievements after age 65 are featured in Splendid Seniors: Great Lives, Great Deeds.

The inspiring ensemble includes Mary Baker Eddy, who was 86 when she founded the Christian Science Monitor; Alexander Graham Bell, who received a patent for his work on a hydrofoil boat at age 75; Benjamin Disraeli, who became prime minister of England for the second time when he was 70; and Susan B. Anthony, who was past 80 when she founded the International Woman Suffrage Alliance.

Splendid Seniors reminds us that creativity, passion & influence can not only flower in later years, but bear delicious fruit.

"The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes."

Frank Lloyd Wright

Midwest Book Review's September 2007  Small Press Bookwatch calls Splendid Seniors "a source of inspiration for seniors everywhere."

     "Splendid Seniors: Great Lives, Great Deeds is an anthology featuring brief biographical profiles of fifty-two people who made great and lasting achievements after age fifty-five. From Mother Theresa to Alexander Graham Bell, Albert Einstein, Charles de Gaulle, Pablo Picasso, Grandma Moses and many more, Splendid Seniors offers true tales of inspirational deeds as well as memorable quotes from each individual profiled. A source of inspiration for seniors everywhere, and proof that greatness, creativity, passion, and intelligence can bloom their brightest with age and experience."
 

"While having a senior moment means
you may have forgotten something,
reading Splendid Seniors:
Great Lives, Great Deeds
is the key to remembering something:
 the amazing accomplishments
made by those over the age of 65.
 Written by North Hollywood author,
playwright and screenwriter Jack Adler,
the book recognizes 52 achievers who
 are recognized for their creativity,
 political and scientific contributions,
 personal expression and community
 involvement. Reading about Alexander
 Graham Bell, Mary Baker Eddy and
 Benjamin Disraeli, whose lives were
 rich with purpose in their later years,
is an inspiration to all that it's
never too late to pursue a passion.
As Frank Lloyd Wright said,
"The longer I live, the more beautiful
 life becomes."

"You gain strength,
courage and confidence
by every experience
in which you really stop
 to look fear in the face.
You must do the thing
you think you cannot do."

Eleanor Roosevelt

"When one door closes,
another opens;
but we often look
 so long and regretfully
 upon the closed door
that we do not see the one which has opened for us."

Alexander Graham Bell
