Alford has a powerful, personal story to tell.--NYT
Genial, self-deprecating, consistently witty and entertaining . . .
The author artfully threads his personal story through the
narrative.--Denver Post
Henry Alford, with his quirky sensibility in full flower, details
what he discovered in his odyssey among America's elders in an
engaging and illuminating new memoir.--Seattle Post
Intelligencer
Time spent reading How to Live will not be regretted by those of
any age. The book succeeds both as an accessible survey of wisdom
and the personal journey of a midlife man who, like many of us, is
trying to see the road ahead with the assistance of the rearview
mirror of those who precede him.--LA Times
While Alford's intellectual nimbleness puts him on par with Wilde
and Benchley, his personal investment infuses HOW TO LIVE with an
emotional expansiveness uniquely his own.--Vanity Fair
