Living Mindfully and Finding Rewards in the Oldest Years
Non-Fiction / Self-Help / Health
Date Published: July 2, 2024
In this book Dr. Goldenthal presents the oldest years as a stage of life
with special challenges and opportunities. This time of life is the
culmination of many previous life stages when we have been confronted with
important issues and choices. As an elderly person herself, Dr. Goldenthal
discusses the concerns people are likely to have in the oldest years. She
focuses on dealing as wisely as we can with these concerns and to accept
what we cannot change. When we have done this to the best of our ability, we
are then free to consider what gives us pleasure and what we value most in
our lives.
