- Seeing through the false messages of youthfulness and anti-aging that are prevalent in advertising and marketing
- How to see the beauty in aging
- How to embrace your own mortality with grace and dignity
- Three pillars of a new mindset about death:
- Every living thing ultimately dies
- Life is precious because it is fleeting
