Everyone is getting old; not everyone is growing old. But the path of purposeful aging is accessible to all—and it's fundamental to health, happiness, and longevity. With a focus on growing whole through developing a sense of purpose in later life, Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old? celebrates the experience of aging with inspiring stories, real-world practices, and provocative questions. Framed by a long conversation between two old friends, the book reconceives aging as a liberating experience that enables us to become more authentically the person we always meant to be with each passing year. In their bestseller Repacking Your Bags, Richard J. Leider and David A. Shapiro defined the good life as “living in the place you belong, with people you love, doing the right work, on purpose.” This book builds on that definition to offer a purposeful path for living well while aging well.

Book excerpt: Beautiful early writings by one of the 20th century’s greatest poets on the 150th anniversary of his birth A Penguin Classic The poems, prose, and drama gathered in When You Are Old present a fresh portrait of the Nobel Prize–winning writer as a younger man: the 1890s aesthete who dressed as a dandy, collected Irish folklore, dabbled in magic, and wrote heartrending poems for his beloved, the beautiful, elusive Irish revolutionary Maud Gonne. Included here are such celebrated, lyrical poems as “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” and “He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven,” as well as Yeats’s imaginative retellings of Irish fairytales—including his first major poem, “The Wanderings of Oisin,” based on a Celtic fable—and his critical writings, which offer a fascinating window onto his artistic theories. Through these enchanting works, readers will encounter Yeats as the mystical, lovelorn bard and Irish nationalist popular during his own lifetime.

With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Download or read book How to Die Young as Old as You Can written by Doug Melody, Ph.D., CFT and published by Outskirts Press, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does being older mean enduring a life of chronic disease and disability? Is this all we have to look forward to as we age? This 72-year-old author really doesn’t believe so. Despite what many of us think and what we’re led to believe, most all of us do have choices in terms of how we live in our “old age”. Doug Melody is challenging the script currently in place that directs us on how we’re expected to live out the third and fourth quarters of our lives, arguing that adherence to this false narrative is the root cause of our age-old beliefs about old age itself. There’s a difference between passively getting older and actively growing older. But the author is up front with his readers - “How To Die Young As Old As You Can” is not an anti-aging treatise that promises to extend your lifespan. It’s your health span - the ability to engage with life in meaningful ways on your wished-for terms - that needs to expand in concert with these extra years the medical miracles are now granting us. Aging is an unavoidable experience. There is no denying this and Melody is not. But the multiple effects of aging are reversible and, if not completely avoidable, subject to a significant slowdown. There are several factors within your grasp that can assist in tapping the brakes to this inevitable decline. “How To Die Young As Old As You Can” provides directions on just how to do this, with extensive scientific research combined with personal experience to support his beliefs.
