The Beauty of Living Twice

Seniors who are fans of pop culture and entertainment should check out actor Sharon Stone's book, The Beauty of Living Twice. Released in 2021, this book details not just her journey as a Hollywood star, but her personal health struggles as well, including how she recovered after experiencing a devastating stroke. Those who appreciate stories of resilience will get a lot out of Stone's transparent tale of courage and dedication.

A Man Called Ove

The new Tom Hanks film, A Man Called Otto is based on this book, which was originally released in 2012. A Man Called Ove follows grumpy Ove, a curmudgeon who routinely dislikes everyone he meets - until a young family moves into the neighborhood and disrupts his life in the best possible way. The book, written by Fredrik Backman, explores the idea of intergenerational friendships, a topic that many seniors might be able to relate to, and offers everything from humor to pathos.
