Summary
The Rolling Stones (now in their 60s) have sung to us for years about "what a drag it is getting old," but it doesn’t have to be that way. This book points to well-known public figures clearly aging with dignity… and vitality; shows steps we can take to age while retaining these qualities in defiance of a society that challenges this quest. Living longer is not enough for most of us; we don’t want to just survive. The quality of our life as we age is most important, and much of that depends on our attitudes and approach. Includes strategies to optimize self-esteem as well as health, including attention to nutrition, exercise, health care, education, mind stimulation, sexuality, social activities, and cosmetics and cosmetic surgery. 2004.
