With vibrant prose and a truly wise heart, Ric Stuecker has connected Hero to Elder powerfully, then gone even further to detail the stages of the elder's path. This is wonderful material--gracious, beautiful, and perceptive. I highly recommend it. ~ Michael Gurian, author of The Wonder of Aging

It was my very great pleasure reading Vibrant Emeritus. Once I got started, I couldn't put it down. By the time I finished, I knew we were brothers. Vibrant Emeritus is a book for those considering the path of the Enlightened Elder. Becoming an Elder is not an easy path, but the work - if followed sincerely - will transform your life and lives of those you love and serve. This is an authentic and powerful book because Richard Stuecker gets it! He did this work for himself and he knows the way. With so much to teach, his book will become an ever-deepening experience of your own initiation into the mature masculinity. Be sure to read it several times! ~ John Robinson
