so far, not liking this book much. How can someone with such poor relationships with his grandparents and parents write a book about how to communicate with seniors. Very shallow. No sources or references mentioned - I'm sure these are not all his original ideas.

I completed reading this in the hope that I would learn something new. That did not happen. Basically, this book is about therapeutic communication renamed and marketed as legacy planning written by a physician assistant with no knowledge of what is taught as basic therapeutic communication in any nursing program.

Hugely practical and important reading for anyone finding themselves frustrated by communications with the elders in their lives. I will definitely try the "legacy coach" techniques with my mother and see how it goes! ( )
