Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The 120 Club
Philip Rose · 2004
55/100
👎 Skip It
Philip Rose brings a genuine holistic perspective to longevity — covering physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions together — and his pastoral counseling background gives the people-centered parts some real texture. But the headline claim of living to 120 is not substantiated by the science available even in 2004, and the eclectic spiritual framework will leave both secular readers and faith-traditionalists wanting more solid ground.
