This book offers a powerful look at aging and how to make the most of it. It describes the pitfalls and then offers ways to reimagine how you can enjoy your life and be happy in your senior years. The book is very thorough and explains how you should be prepared for the different phases of retirement. The author also gives examples of things to do and things to learn and showcases various successful, happy seniors. It's an enjoyable read and something to think about. This is the kind of book that sits in the back of your head and gets you motivated. Good stuff
My father retired over a decade ago, and he has been struggling with anxiety and his mental decline in recent years. This book would have been ideal for us to read together a decade ago, but at least 30% of it still applies to his situation... and what a critical 30% it is! The most helpful sections that I am finding helpful are: fostering positivity, cultivating resilience, dealing with boredom, and most importantly... incorporating gratitude practice into daily life. This last one alone was worth the price tag on this book. For some reason, when my dad reads something in print, it simply imprints better for him than hearing it from his loving children. He believes it, reads it repeatedly, and then follows the procedure (as long as not too complicated). Summary: I found the recommendations legit, reasonable, and presented in a fashion that is not too intimidating even for someone advanced in their retirement and aging processes. It is perfect for my family's situation!
