And Never Stop Dancing: Thirty More True Things You Need to Know Now

This reader very much enjoyed this book as it continued to discuss items in life ,relationships and habits I had really not taken the time to discover on my own . One premise he continued to explore was that patients of his who had the best chance of becoming well had the desire to do so and did not rely on drugs to make them well. There was much more, but this stood out to me.

Why don't people like to see themselves in the mirror? Because they don't like what they see... One true thing. Step parents and step children will both be happier if they let the birth parents be the disciplinarians...another true thing. When long married couples divorce, it's often because while they have grown and changed, they couldn't find a way to stay friends...So many authors of advice want to push their ideas onto you... to convince you or persuade you that theirs are the real truths. In contrast, Dr Livingston says "based on my many years in psychiatric practice, these are what I think are truths;" then it's up to the reader to consider his thoughtful and gentle advice.There are thirty 3-5 page chapters, each a little essay and observation. Some you will like, some you will disagree with; but at the end of the book you will probably have found at least one new truth about yourself to take to heart, and in my book that's worth the price of admission.

Much of the information in this book is a repeat (in different words with different chapters) of  Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart: Thirty True Things You Need to Know Now  ;With that said, it is an excellent refresher and is just at poignant as the first book Livingston wrote. I have read both. "Too Soon Old" is superior in my opinion, but I found that I enjoyed this one because it offered some additional stories and information and also reminded me of other lessons I learned in the other book.Not a necessity, but definitely worth the money if you are a fan of Livingston. I would recommend reading  Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart: Thirty True Things You Need to Know Now  ; first though.

are filled with wisdom and cause one toreflect on life's travails and blessings!

Amazing author and what I love most is that I get something every time I read his books. You can stop reading and pick up months later from the same spot.

Dr. Livingston again hits it out of the park. I'm on his 4th book now. These are easy to read (short chapters) and very filled with valuable acvice. I'm ordering second copies of this as gifts for friends. It's important information when contemplating the remainder of your life.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I appreciate the directness and practicality of his writings. This is the second book of Gordon Livingston I've read and it was better than the first

Very thought provoking, somewhat sad, makes me pause and wonder what should I strive for. I will read another GL book and try to figure some of what's next for me

Hardly any take away with this book, just lots of stories from the authors past which didn't help me in any way. It started off good, first couple of chapters, then lost it's way and became more of a book of the author reminiscing. I skipped through most of it, sad as his previous book was life changing. Needs more psychotherapy and less personal memories.

Was reading on holiday & now can continue. An interesting slant on some basic life principles. Would like to meet the author

Love this book so much I bought the other one too.Easy to read, can pick any chapter to read, doesn’t need to be in order.Highly recommend

Some reflections on life.

doesn't tell you how to think, makes you draw the connection yourself. well worth it, especially for those who read the original
