Luminary Jean Houston describes Do Not Go Quietly this way: “Profound, compassionate and deeply useful, this book is a guide to the genius and capacities inherent in the second half of life. It brooks no whiney nay-saying, but rather offers a repositioning of the senior in our time. Seniors become the midwives of souls, the evoctateurs of self and society.”

Following the sage advice of the legendary George Burns who once said. “Old…young, just words!” Do Not Go Quietly is infused with the Cappannelli’s inspiring theme: “We are never too old or too young to live the lives we were born to live.” They are a feisty duo who show that the third act should not be taken lying down.

Do Not Go Quietly is loaded with valuable perspectives on how to live more consciously and age wisely– and provides a host of practical and relevant recommendations on choices we can make to lead more satisfying and successful lives.

It encourages readers to take responsibility for their own lives and their own wellness by harvesting the wisdom and experience of the past and investing it in living more fully in each present moment. It also reminds us all that if we want to make our days more vital, satisfying and joy-filled, then it is time we put a pin in America’s obsession with youth and aversion to age–make right our relationship with ourselves and the world around us and reclaim our rightful place as adults and elders.

The Cappannelli’s issue an inspiring call to action, reminding those who the world calls older GenXers, Boomers and Elders that our work is not done! We have the wisdom, experience, resources and necessity to–not only help re-chart a sane and sustainable course–but to leave behind a legacy of greater hope and consciousness for those who come after.

Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, author of Age-ing To Sage-ing and the father of spiritual eldering, says: “In Do Not Go Quietly, the Cappannelli’s remind us that the road to a more conscious future passes directly through the process of harvesting the wisdom and experience of our past and participating individually and collectively in writing a new ‘third act’ for the future.”
