Book Review: Audacious Aging

Wise Messages:

“Audacious Aging” with the subtitle of “Age Audaciously as you Live Audaciously” recently crossed my desk.  Editor Stephanie Marohan has compiled 40 people’s life experiences: it’s a great grab bag of doctors, researchers, writers, singers, actors, spiritualists and she’s asked them for their secrets on aging.

Some people’s thoughts are two pages long, others over four.  I read all 40 contributors.  I think they all impart good solid messages, which are wise reminders for us all.  The single reoccurring theme from all 40 voices was you must take responsibility for yourself in matters of health and mind.

These are not new messages, but it’s an excellent way to review for your lifestyle.  I tracked the following problems expressed in the book which seem to be plaguing a great many people:

•    Diabetes

•    Cholesterol

•    Obesity

•    High blood pressure

•    Peri-menopausal or menopausal symptoms

•    Depression

•    Negative thoughts

•    Lack of exercise

•    Isolation

Sorry, folks, but we are back to basics.  Take control of your diet so it’s a life style change, not a diet, exercise or find something you love to do like dancing or walking, drink less booze and coffee, don’t smoke and that will almost take care of the medical laundry list .  Simply breath deeply, meditate, and most importantly, take stock of what’s good about your life, and what you want to change.

We are in control; we all have the power to change.  Perhaps “Audacious Aging” will inspire you, or perhaps it will merely confirm what’s been rattling in the back of your brain for weeks.  Follow your gut, it’s all yours to grab.

Audacious Aging: Eldership As a Revolutionary Endeavor

A new generation is evolving together through the passage of eldership. In Audacious Aging, we collect their voices, full of wisdom, fierceness, compassion and gentleness. They are the graceful and eloquent transformative agents our communities and our planet are now seeking. This book brings together voices from medicine, psychology, business, government, the media, and entertainment, to articulate a brilliant new vision of the possibilities of the second half of life. Some are in their nineties, others are in their twenties, yet they share a common vision of aging. Not content with “going gently into that good night,” they all see midlife and beyond as a gateway to changing the planet, and accelerating their personal transformation. They
