Message from Theodore Rozak,

“My latest book, The Making of an Elder Culture: Reflections on the Future of America’s Most Audacious Generation, has been published online. After being told by numerous publishers, as well as by my own agent, that nobody reads books about “old people” — not even the 77 million boomers who are the subject of the book, — I decided to deliver my thoughts to the world in a new medium. The admirable people at Second Journey, a North Carolina-based organization that deals in the social and spiritual issues of aging, have done an excellent job of designing the book and are hoping it will draw enough attention to launch a significant dialogue. The book will appear in four quarterly installments. If you have the pdf Acrobat format, you can download the first three chapters at www.SecondJourney.org/Roszak.htm

The thesis of the book deals with unexplored demographic pressures that may be shaping our future more importantly than many more prominent forces – leading to the striking conclusion that the future belongs to age more so than youth.

Thanks so much if you have the time to take a look at the book. It will be a great favor if you can at least register a “hit” on Second Journey’s website. If you have the chance to make a comment on the website or to let friends know about the book, that will surely help creating some buzz. It may also help us all create an alternative to print-on-paper publication which is growing ever more frustrating.

Ted Roszak
