It is clear that from his continual formation there has been born a singular, and at the same time multi-faceted, philosophy, which is deliberately difficult to summarize. This book shows the lesser-known side of Peter Drucker as far as his views on his own ideas are concerned.

Download or read book Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old written by Richard J. Leider and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grow old on purpose. This book invites readers to navigate a purposeful path from adulthood to elderhood with choice, curiosity, and courage. 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.

Download or read book New Directions in the Study of Late Life Religiousness and Spirituality written by Susan H. Mcfadden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examine the questions of “how,” “what,” and “why” associated with religiousness and spirituality in the lives of older adults! New Directions in the Study of Late Life Religiousness and Spirituality explores new ways of thinking about a topic that was once taboo but that has now attracted considerable attention from the gerontological community. It examines various approaches to methodology and definition that are used in the study of religion, spirituality, and aging. In addition, it explores the ways that gerontological research can highlight the role of religion and spirituality in the lives of older adults. The first section will introduce you to new ways of thinking about research methodology and data analysis that can be applied to studying the complexity of older adults' religious/spiritual practice and beliefs. You'll learn several approaches to the study of phenomena that are both personal and also deeply embedded in community. The second section addresses issues of definition, exploring important questions that call for critical reflection, such as: “What are we studying?” “What social and psychological influences shape our thinking about definition?” and “Do the definitions used by gerontologists match those held by older people?” The final section moves the study of religion, spirituality, and aging beyond a focus on health and mortality to examine well-being more broadly in the context of the life experiences of older adults. Here is a small sample of what you'll learn about in New Directions in the Study of Late Life Religiousness and Spirituality: structural equation modeling—a statistical method designed to capture the dynamics inherent in the passage of time feminist qualitative methods for studying spiritual resiliency in older women spirituality as a public health issue the differences between groups of older people in the way they define religion and spirituality the psychosocial implications of two types of religious orientation—“dwelling” and “seeking” older women's responses to the experience of widowhood and to the question of whether their religious beliefs were affected by the experience how social context influences our decisions and our interpretations of people's religious beliefs, behaviors, and experiences the ways that people caring for a spouse with dementia rely on religious coping a model that delineates three different ways people relate to God in coping—and a study that asks whether these types of coping produce different outcomes for caregivers how people adjust to bereavement as a function of their beliefs about an afterlife
Download or read book Dramatic Global Population Growth Embraces the Growing Older Population written by Edward A McKinney and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is witnessing a dramatic demographic population growth explosion across all age groups that had it beginning around the early 1800s when the first billion people in population was recorded. Most importantly has been an increasing growth in the older population. Does population aging matter in the twenty-first century? Yes, it matters, because as research has pointed out, the increasing older population globally will have a significant impact on all essential societal systems—the family, pensions and retirement, and financial institutions, as well as medical, health, and social systems. This growth explosion or phenomenon will affect all continents, countries, and regions regardless of economic, political, and military power. Causative factors for this global growth in population have come about primarily as a result of medical advances/innovations, agricultural development, and the industrial revolution, especially the development of railways, seaways, and highways. A major emphasis of the book focuses on several very important factors: the growing older population as aforementioned, especially its impact on all of essential societal systems and the subject of ageism. Ageism becomes extremely important considering that the growing older population, the “silver tsunami,” represents the new majority. This new majority will no longer be ignored. Gerontologists for years have attempted to call attention to the fact. “Expectations for old people are based on negative age stereotypes. Members of American society generally expect and even encourage the aged to be asexual, intellectually rigid, unproductive, ineffective, and disengaged. Seniors are supposed to stay out of the way, sit in their rocking chairs, and enjoy the golden years. They are expected to be inactive, invisible, but happy” (Levin, J and Levin, W, Ageism, Prejudice and Discrimination Against the Elderly, California: Wadsworth Publishing, 1941, pp. 97–98). Speaking of being ignored, why aren’t more members of the older population involved at the decision-making tables in shaping a society for all ages? After all, they would bring years of experiences, skills, knowledge, and values for creating a society for all ages in the twenty-first century with justice and human rights for all. Currently, there is a global movement with a goal of the eradication of ageism in all of it forms. Some will recall from several decades ago the Grey Panther Movement in America with a similar mission of the eradication of all injustices at the time being experienced by the older population. The current movement says, “The time is now not later!” One major social injustice being experienced by the growing old population globally is the lack of income security in old age, including the lack of access to other essential services such as medical, health, and social including long-term care. More than 50 percent (51 percent) of older persons globally do not have basic income security or a social pension in retirement. A more alarming statistic is that in Sub-Saharan Africa (forty-seven countries), eight-two percent (82.5) of retirees do not have a social pension. Yes, for the older population, the new majority, the time is now for correcting the aforementioned injustices. Maybe what is needed is a human seismic force comprising the new majority to initiate a social movement with a goal of the eradication of all forms of ageism and ensuring that the growing older population will live in dignity and respect in later life including social protection/pensions.
