This book is for and about a growing group of people who are leading a movement that is utterly changing our traditional attitude toward midlife, which has become a time of opportunity. Today, people in their fifties and sixties are involved in a second social revolution: Rather than becoming spectators of their kids' lives, they're doing amazing things with their own. Not content to walk quietly into their golden years like their parents, they are extending their active lives - working, traveling, creating, seeking, spending and having sex and adventures just as they did in their 20s. Only now they've got the money and the energy to do it on a new set of terms. The heart of the book is made up of profiles of 30-40 men and women who've remade their lives in fascinating ways. Dozens of stories, based on in-depth first-person interviews, reflect this sociological and cultural phenomenon.

Resolve: Strategies, Thoughts, and Beliefs for Healthy Living coaches readers through major lifestyle changes that can lead to better physical, emotional, and spiritual health. It helps them recognize emotions, beliefs, and behavior patterns that can work against them and provides strategies for replacing them with healthier choices. Part One encourages readers to focus on health rather than worrying about weight by addressing issues related to body image and culture. Part Two introduces the reader to tools that can help them achieve their personal health goals. The book features nutrition and exercise tips as well as strategies for using emotions effectively, managing stress, pursuing potential, and cultivating positive thinking. The third edition includes fresh content on budget-conscious health, mindful use of technology, and strategies for improved mental wellness. Additionally, much of the text has been updated to shift perspectives from weight management to focus on the goal of whole-person health. Rooted in positive psychology and emphasizing the unique value of every individual, Resolve is suited to courses on personal growth and enrichment, personal health, and healthy weight management.

In 2007 David Goldhill's father died from infections acquired in a well-regarded New York hospital. The bill, for several hundred thousand dollars, was paid by Medicare. Angered, Goldhill became determined to understand how it was possible that well-trained personnel equipped with world-class technologies could be responsible for such inexcusable carelessness--and how a business that failed so miserably could still be rewarded with full payment.
"Catastrophic Care" is the eye-opening result. In it Goldhill explodes the myth that Medicare and insurance coverage can make care cheaper and improve our health, and shows how efforts to reform the system, including the Affordable Care Act, will do nothing to address the waste of the health care industry, which currently costs the country nearly $2.5 trillion annually and in which an estimated 200,000 Americans die each year from preventable errors. "Catastrophic Care" proposes a completely new approach, one that will change the way you think about one of our most pressing national problems.
