Frank, highly personal, truthful, and candid, My First 80 Years is John Klein's personal story of triumph over physical adversity. More than that, it is a lifeline to other seniors, reminding those who have experienced serious illness or injury that their fourth quarter of life can be enjoyable and stimulating and can continue to result in a sense of accomplishment. Klein himself is a patient but is also a patient motivation consultant, providing Americans with information on Disability Act compliance, safety, equipment, and courage. My First 80 Years is low in BS and high in motivation, reminding readers to keep going.
