In this entertaining and inspirational memoir, Hollywood legend Dick Van Dyke shares his secret to staying resilient in old age.
Beloved Hollywood icon Dick Van Dyke will celebrate his ninetieth birthday in December 2015. He’s an established legend, having starred in Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Everyone wonders, “How does he do it?” For the first time, Van Dyke shares his secrets and tips on old age—just keep moving.
With a fun and folksy way of addressing its audience, Keep Moving serves as an instruction book on how to embrace old age with a positive attitude.

"Loved it! It was a bit on the self-congratulatory side but I believe that is apart of the book’s theme. He’s suggesting we should celebrate the many experiences that we are fortunate to have and to be excited about what’s to come rather than focusing negatively on things that are out of our control. He’s filled to the brim with positivity and it made me smile several times throughout it. "

" The book wandered somewhat and felt a little self-congratulatory. Although, he was enthusiastic and demonstrated it "ain't over 'til it's over"—and hey, I hope I'm doing that well when I'm 89! "
