Description
This book explodes some myths about aging and reveals ten personal development tools to help us change our perspective to bolster emotional and psychological resilience in later life.
In this handbook Guy Robertson offers ten steps that anyone can take to improve the likelihood of living a happy and satisfying life in old age. Research shows that how we think about ageing can have a very significant impact on our health and well-being in later life. Concentrating on the psychological and emotional aspects of ageing, these clear practical exercises will empower the reader to engage in a program of personal change. Getting older is not all bad! Indeed the reality is much more positive than many of us could imagine.
