Keep Moving: And Other Tips and Truths About Aging | Dick Van Dyke, Todd Gold
14 posts | 17 read | 9 to read
Beloved Hollywood icon Dick Van Dyke will celebrate his 90th birthday in December 2015. Hes an established legend, having starred in Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and The Dick Van Dyke Show. And yet hes still keeping himself busy, entertaining America on television, movies, the stage, and social media. Everyone wonders, How does he do it? For the first time, Van Dyke will share his secrets and tips on old age: Just keep moving. In a fun and folksy way of addressing readers, Keep Moving will serve as an instruction book on how to embrace old age with a positive attitude. The chapters are filled with exclusive personal anecdotes that explore various themes on aging: how to adapt to the physical and social changes, deal with loss of friends and loved ones, stay current, fall in love again, and keep moving every day like theres no tomorrow.

“Accepting that life is a perfectly imperfect experience is a crucial part of appreciating senior citizenship and coming to terms with the past.“

Quick & fun read. 🕺

Tamra All I see in my mind‘s eye are the characters he plays so wonderfully in Mary Poppins. 2y

Dick Van Dyke is undoubtedly charming and delightful. The book is just not terribly interesting or engaging.

Absolutely adore DVD. This audiobook was highly enjoyable. The section where he interviews Carl Reiner is priceless.

Dolly Sounds like the audio is the way to go here. I loved his show growing up and as a kid who didn‘t like any cartoons or almost no sitcoms that says a lot. 🙂 6y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @Dolly yes, and he narrates...he such a good soul. Yeah, I was kind of the same...although I did love Scooby Doo 6y

I feel like I‘m in a slump unless it‘s an audio. I have many great books to read but I don‘t feel motivated to read. I was so busy last month I didn‘t have the time; now I have the time but no desire. Ugh 🙄😩😂

Also I am enjoying this, I love Dick Van Dyke! Makes you feel better about getting older no matter what.

(I changed my profile pic so don‘t be alarmed 😆😊)

Dragon Sounds interesting, stacking! 👍😀🐉 6y
Trashcanman I saw the Pic and I was like who's that? It took a few seconds to process. Hope you get out of your slump 6y
Ash.on.the.line @Trashcanman thanks, I hope so too. I know a bit drastic going from black and white to color lol. 6y
Ash.on.the.line @Dragon it was interesting, he comes off very genuine and funny of course. You get a little of his life, and how to grow older gracefully while having fun. 6y
Dragon I definitely have to check it out 👍 6y

I love Dick Van Dyke and was happy to listen to him narrate his book. I enjoyed his stories and his opinions/points of view on a wide range of topics.
I did think it would be a bit funnier but still a “pick” for me.

Up next... Keep Moving by the love of my life Dick VanDyke. You know he married a 40 year old makeup artist, he could upgrade to this 30 year old makeup artist AND hairstylist. JUST saying.😍📚

AmyG How old is he, anyway? 7y
Seekingtardis Can I be invited to the wedding?? 😂😍 7y
Eggs A few months back, I read his book I've loved this man since I was a small child. I wanted to marry a man like Rob Petrie 😍 7y
LibrarianRyan You probably know this but he was born in my neck of the woods and they have a tribute to him every year. 7y
Mollyanna I loved this book! He has such a great outlook on life. 7y

Soooo happy Dick Van Dyke narrated his own book, he does a fantastic job. This had me laughing in the car and he talks about the later years of his life. Turns out he is pretty liberal and gives some good advice while acknowledging he is lucky. Good length but any longer and it probably would have been tedious. Read because I could dang it. Though at this rate, I probably should do more than the Read Harder Challenge

So glad this book is read by the author. Reading this just because.

What a delight. Funny, touching, thought-provoking, and - best of all perhaps - read by the author! May get a hard copy or Kindle copy later to have his lists and grades for the past 90 years. Loved it!

I feel disloyal, but this short audiobook was just okay for me. I have always loved Dick Van Dyke and his reflections and advice on aging are great. The rest is filler to make the book acceptably long. Still getting over that his wife is my age.

LitHousewife This was an #ArmchairAudies listen. 9y
