🎙 Narrated by George Newbern
86/100
👍 Worth It
This is the real deal for anyone navigating an aging parent — Solie's control-and-legacy framework genuinely reframes frustrating moments into something you can actually work with. It's required reading in an eldercare certification program for good reason, and the theory-example-solution structure makes it easy to apply. George Newbern's clean, professional narration is a strong match, and this one's absolutely worth the listen.
