Timeless wisdom on growing old gracefully from one of ancient Rome's greatest philosophers

Worried that old age will inevitably mean losing your libido, your health, and possibly your marbles too? Well, Cicero has some good news for you. In How to Grow Old, the great Roman orator and statesman eloquently describes how you can make the second half of life the best part of all--and why you might discover that reading and gardening are actually far more pleasurable than sex ever was.

Filled with timeless wisdom and practical guidance, Cicero's brief, charming classic--written in 44 BC and originally titled On Old Age--has delighted and inspired readers, from Saint Augustine to Thomas Jefferson, for more than two thousand years. Presented here in a lively new translation with an informative new introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, the book directly addresses the greatest fears of growing older and persuasively argues why these worries are greatly exaggerated--or altogether mistaken.

Montaigne said Cicero's book gives one an appetite for growing old. The American founding father John Adams read it repeatedly in his later years. And today its lessons are more relevant than ever in a world obsessed with the futile pursuit of youth.

Great cell phone mount, super easy to install!!!
This is an awesome cell phone holder for the car! I have a 2022 X3 and it works perfectly and is super sturdy. It was so easy to install and I love that the directions include a QR code you can scan and watch a video on installation making it even easier. Once you put your phone into the holder it stays put and is in the perfect location so you can see the screen without taking your eyes off the road. I definitely recommend this cell phone mount for your vehicle.

Great product but a bit expensive
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
Well built. Comes with cable management. The rear mechanism doesnt use adhesives, so it comes loose after heat and rough roads. Just put some sticky tape and itll work great. Charging speeds are fast and most importantly the ball joint is tight and doesnt shake over rough roads.

Good looks that betray a flawed locking mechanism
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
I wanted to love the Spigen TapLock—its sleek design and promise of a secure, easy-to-use latch mechanism had me hopeful. At first, it felt solid, and the concept of a spin-to-lock system was clever. But after just a few weeks, the latch mechanism started failing. It wouldn’t adhere properly anymore, and the spin-to-lock feature became completely non-functional—no amount of spinning tightens the lock. Fixing it? Near impossible. The design buries the mechanism in a way that makes repairs a nightmare, and there’s no clear way to realign or replace parts without breaking it further. It’s a shame because the build quality isn’t terrible otherwise, but this critical flaw tanks it. One star—looks good, works briefly, then betrays you. The charge speed is pretty good.

Good product
Style: Charging MagSafe Mount
Great product. It allows my iPhone 15 pro to sit at the right angle so that it is not completely behind steering wheel. I like that it doesn’t use a glue base to secure to monitor. I have taken It off 3 times and it went back on well. The only negative I can find is that it’s a little bouncy or I should say more than I would like it to. I would recommend to a friend.
