Contrary to conventional thinking, aging is a sign of great success, a result of strength and survivorship. Growing old does not mean that we must “retire,” become useless, and face inevitable decline. Now from Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, a rabbi and founder of the Spiritual Eldering Institute, and Ronald S. Miller, a journalist and humanistic educator, comes a spiritual and psychological guide to help make the last decades of life a period of unprecedented inner growth. With its revolutionary approach to lifespan development, this book gives you the practical tools to grow older with the wisdom, maturity, and understanding so desperately needed in today’s world.
“A wise and inspiring guide book to the aging process. It will show you how healthy aging may be more like the process of birth than only a reminder of our mortality.”
