Book Description

September 5, 2000
Faithful aging is not simply aging; it is growing old. It is embracing not only the challenges of a long life, but engaging the possiblities of creativity and depth of soul available to those who have acquired a wealth of experience.

This book is for all adults interested in increasing satisfaction in their lives. Each chapter moves from theory to practice with thought-provoking questions, specific suggestions, and clear illustrations of how the various tasks of aging can be accomplished. Saussy emphasizes the importance of setting goals, making plans, and enacting those plans as the practical means to moving into the last decades of life with a sense of expectation, grace, and fulfillment.

With challenging and insightful suggestions for activities, questions for reflection, and guidelines for discussion groups, this new book is ideal for individual or group use.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Art of Growing Old (Paperback)
I was looking for some solid advice on this important topic, but this book is just a brief compendium of solemn-sounding homilies. Most are pretty generalized. I would not really recommend this book.
