Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
After being introduced for a lecture, Ram Dass eschewed the stairs and, from his front row seat, leapt up on to the stage--or tried to, anyway, but age and gravity brought him crashing back to earth. Like other baby boomers, Ram Dass has learned the hard way that ageing is unkind to the body. But he has also learned that it can be an opportunity for growth. While others begin to devalue you, you can reconnect with the spiritual, grow into wisdom and create value for yourself. In Still Here, Ram Dass offers a philosophy for ageing that teaches us how to diminish our suffering despite the aches, pains, and limitations of age. This becomes possible when we step away from the ego-self and into the soul-self, where we can witness our thoughts and emotions and evaluate their effects on us. If ageing has brought challenges to Ram Dass, it has also brought him wisdom, which, through his personal anecdotes and stories of others in the struggle against ageing, he shares with great generosity. --Brian Bruya

If you are not familiar with Ram Dass, then my guess is that it will take more than a brief review to explain. Among other things, his philosophy is that in addition to looking at the world from your own perspective, you can try to look at it from a higher perspective, as if you were outside your mind/body, looking in. So, when you are facing a particularly melodramatic moment in your life, while part of you is feeling the anxiety, you also have this higher perspective that is saying, "Hmmm...interesting."
It is especially challenging to include the "Hmmm...interesting" perspective when confronted with aging and terminal illness. Those phenomena are particularly melodramatic. Thus, "Still Here" would give someone who is new to Ram Dass a particularly striking illustration of his ideas.
For those of us who have been exposed to Ram Dass through earlier books or tapes (unfortunately, my favorite old tape, "Who are you?" no longer seems to be available), "Still Here" is just the same old, same old. His philosophy is not different, but now there is a focus on the issue of aging.
What I like to do with "Still Here" is keep it at bedside. I might have been reading a magazine about business or technology, where the tone is very intense and urgent ("this new trend/development affects everyone--NOW"). To restore my serenity and perspective, I will read a section or two of "Still Here" before going to sleep.

I'm the "advance scout for the experiences of aging," Ram Dass reports in his new book, STILL HERE, "and I've come back from the scouting party to bring good news" (p. 204). In the eight chapters (essays, really) of his book, RD offers his insights into "aging, the mystery of death, and how to remain conscious in the face of physical, social, and psychological challenges" (p. 108).
"Getting old isn't easy for a lot of us," RD observes. "Neither is living, neither is dying" (p. 6). In Chapter One, "Slipping out of Zumbach's Coat," RD first examines our society, which "would like to pretend that old people don't exist" (p. 13), and he then contemplates the aging spots on his hands--"suddenly it's just autumn leaves" (p. 14). In Chapter Three, "Old Mind, New Mind," he explains that old age provides opportunities "to liberate us from the traps of the past" (p. 34), enabling us to understand the power of the mind (p. 35). In this Chapter, he also confronts "the Usual Suspects" of aging: senility, loneliness, loss of meaning, depression, and fear. For RD, "old age is a time for reflection and inner work" (p. 108).
RD finsihed this book two and a half years after suffering a stroke. He writes this book from experience. This is a good book about aging mindfully. Although it has something to offer all of us on our journey to old age, readers older than 50 might relate better to this book. And by the way, Ram Dass, keep smiling!

What can I say the book is wonderful! Yeah, somehow that word fits. Ram Dass shares himself with such candor that I truly know and feel that we are all on this 'life's journey' together. I feel that the style in which it is written can open the heart and calm the mind. I encourage both Elders and Youngers to read this WONDERFUL book. Bhavani
