70 Things to Do When You Turn 70 - 70 Achievers on How To Make the Most of Your 70th Milestone Birthday (Milestone Series) Paperback – September 12, 2013

This was a great gift for my friend who recently turned 70. We had a small party, and passed around each gift for everyone to view. It took a long time for this book to make it around the circle because people stopped and read passages out loud. It was a fun time, and the book offers practical ideas for making turning 70 an opportunity to do many of the things we don't have time for when we are younger.

My wife really enjoyed this book. each story is fairly short and yet usually thoughtful and insightful; - - - a pleasant read.

Perfect gift for those people who are celebrating their 70th birthday East read.

Delightful list of thoughts and ideas for those who have successfully threaded the maze of life and arrived at the grand mark of three score and ten. Now that we have arrived at 70, we still have a lot of living ahead of us. This book gives a collection of authors and thoughts of adjustments / tactics for coping with senior years and making the most of them.

This is a very positive and uplifting collection of essays about turning 70. However, I can't give it 5 stars because the book is full of redundancies and so the title is not really appropriate. This isn't about 70 things to do when you turn 70, it's a book with 70 essays about what to do when you turn 70. IMO, there is a difference.I would recommend the book for seniors who might feel depressed about this milestone age. BUT the messages are fairly uniform in a sense. What they basically say is "Be happy. Enjoy life. Don't give up. Get a degree, or sail the seas or enlist in senior athletic contests, learn to dance, learn a new language, etc., etc." And that's not bad, mind you. All seniors, I think, have occasion to fight bouts of depression, and you CAN get an uplift from reading these essays...just don't look for "70 things," because I didn't find any.Also, I think I could point out that most of the writers of the essays were upper middle class (or above), and a number of them lived in California or Florida, so if you're retired and live on a modest income someplace other than the two lower coastal regions, you might discount some of the suggestions or advice.I can neither trash it or praise it to the skies, but as I say, it is positive and uplifting, and it wouldn't, for most of us, be a waste of time or money to read it. Just have realistic expectations.

I gave this as a gift to my dad's wife and she liked it:) A few 'off-color' items related to sex, but not terribly offensive. If I had known those items were in the book I may not have ordered it for this person. But I read it cover-to-cover before i gifted it and still gave it to her.

This was a much-appreciated gift at our friend's recent 70th birthday! It's an upbeat and inspiring read for someone having this milestone birthday.We combined it with the coffee mug that says 'Made in 1947 - all original parts".

This was a huge hit. She read it cover to cover that very day.❤️💚💜🧡
