Author: Dick Van Dyke

Dick Van Dyke brings the timing of a comic performer to Keep Moving, a collection of reflections on aging, curiosity, exercise, and daily purpose. Weinstein Books released the 2015 first edition under the expanded title Keep Moving: And Other Tips and Truths About Aging, while Grand Central published the October 2016 trade paperback as Keep Moving: And Other Tips and Truths About Living Well Longer. Van Dyke mixes personal anecdotes with practical habits, treating dance, singing, friendship, and continued work as sources of energy rather than promises of perfect health. Contributions and observations from his brother Jerry Van Dyke, television creator Carl Reiner, and other friends widen the perspective beyond autobiography. The book follows his earlier memoir My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business but concentrates less on a chronological career account. Instead, Van Dyke organizes experience into an upbeat guide shaped by decades in television, film, music, and stage performance as he approached his ninetieth birthday. Its tone favors persistence, humor, and adaptation over formulas for longevity.
