Few prejudices in Western society are more powerful than those
concerning aging. Until recently, we have assumed that the story of
aging is one of loss and decline. But there's an entirely different
truth. Yes, you can teach an old dog--or even a sort-of-old dog--new
tricks.
Is there a secret to staying young? It turns out that there are many,
and they all begin with nurturing our existing relationships to foster
brain health, keeping us happier and healthier.
As readers of this book will learn, wisdom, enhanced social
relationships, greater adaptation and flexibility (mental, if not
physical!)--all these things can be attained as we grow older. Filled
with both practical and thought-provoking suggestions, this book is a
must-read for anyone who wants to age in style.
