The Wonder Of Aging: A New Approach To Embracing Life After Fifty

Michael Gurian draws on groundbreaking research in neuroscience and anecdotes from his many clients over the last two decades to go beyond the physical-centered view of aging to present a new, holistic paradigm that embraces the soul-enriching opportunities of fifty and beyond. Gurian divides the second half of life into three developmental stages: the Age of Transformation, the Age of Distinction, and the Age of Completion. Discussing how men and women age differently, the effects of aging on the brain, and the art of living with purpose, Gurian provides exercises to help you design your present and future. Through this practical and meditative guide, he shows how we can become elders. Accessibly written with Gurian's courageously optimistic outlook on life, The Wonder of Aging is a comprehensive and comforting road map of what to expect in the second half of your life - and how to celebrate it.
