Description
Dream big. Set ambitious goals. Attain unusual achievements.
At the age of 68, while still recovering from his second knee injury, Dr. Zeev Gilkis decided to give himself an unusual present for his 70th birthday.
He dreamed of running a full Marathon, and completing the seventh decade of his life seemed to him the ideal timing to do so.
Perhaps this ambitious goal wouldn’t have been so unusual, had he been a very physically active person in his younger years. But Zeev is a cancer survivor who began his ‘career’ in sports relatively late, in his mid-sixties.
As two years is a long time, he set a milestone for his 69th birthday: to go mid-way - running a half marathon.
Along with his plans and dreams he kept a diary where he recorded the ups and downs, practical tips and original thoughts that crossed his mind in this long, challenging journey.
Join Zeev in this adventure and discover that age doesn't matter. You too can achieve anything you truly dream of.
In his first two books: Unlock Bliss, A Memoir of Getting Happier and The Secret of Life, A Memoir of Getting Younger, Dr. Zeev Gilkis shares with readers the story of his struggle with cancer, some important and original thoughts and insights into life and happiness, such as that “Age doesn’t matter!” among many others.
In a very simple writing style, he describes some of the key processes in the brain, the role of the immune system and how to care for it, the story of how he got into sports in his sixties, and much more good stuff.
Advance Praise
"I love this guy. I have read book after book of his and I am just blown away. I cannot get enough! I love how detailed and how much research he has done. If he has not accomplished it himself he makes sure to look up the correct information and presents it to you correctly. Man the life he has live, it makes you want to jump right up and do something for yourself and feel great about doing it no matter your age, size or what may or may not be holding you back from it all. Keep them coming, your a true winner! TadofDAT
I love the perception this book represents. that age is in your mental and physical attitude more than the times you circled the planet. and its not just words, but also gives you the tools to age a bit slower or even become younger in your body. Alore Nightingale"

An inspirational read! Dr. Zeev Gilkis has decided that he is going to run marathon for his 70th birthday. At the age of 68 he begins his plans, keeps a journal and starts preparing. He believes it's never too late to set goals for yourself and you can make your dreams come true. You just need to set up a plan and go for them. After reading this book I do feel inspired to start refocusing on my goals and maybe add a 5k to it- I want to start there before dreaming of running a full marathon! Thank you to Net Galley and BooksGoSocial for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Angela S, Reviewer
This is a great book told by Dr. Zeev Gilkis. He actually starts the book before some of his ambitious goals, he calls them interim goals, and it's like the readers are following his process. He had a knee injury and admits to being addicted to running, but realizes the work involved in achieving his goals. He shares his charts of running along with so many other stories. I thought the book was interesting as we follow this doctor on his journey. He's been through a lot, including colon cancer, his knee injuries, and his first triathlon at age 66. Very interesting book for anyone interested in memories, in health, and in running (although you do not have to be a runner to enjoy the book).
