What can the novel and mini-series Lonesome Dove teach us about getting older?

A lot more than you might expect.

In this episode of Bill Monty’s Guide for Getting Older, I take a look at Larry McMurtry’s classic novel Lonesome Dove and the unforgettable characters of Gus McCrae and Woodrow F. Call.

But this isn't just an episode about an old Western.

It’s about friendship, regret, courage, change, aging, loss, and the choices we make as we move through life.

Gus and Call may be riding across the American frontier, but their journey raises questions that become increasingly important as we get older:

What do we still want to accomplish? What do we regret? Who are the people who have mattered most in our lives? And when is it time to stop looking backward and start moving forward?

Bill explores five life lessons inspired by Lonesome Dove and considers what they can teach us about the journey of getting older.

Because getting older isn't simply about adding years to your life.

It's about understanding what those years have taught you.
