Aging Well uniquely offers a comprehensive view of what it means to
be whole and healthy while aging as beautifully as possible, given
life's unpredictable and varied circumstances. Rather than focusing
solely on physical wellness or nutrition, Aging Well encompasses
physical, mental, relational, environmental, global, and spiritual
health. Each chapter begins with inspirational and motivational
quotes, and ends with practical self-reflection exercises. Using
personal life stories as well as pastoral experiences to illustrate
the power to make better choices amid life's challenges, Aging Well
inspires readers by illuminating life from within its very
trenches. The originality of Aging Well also lies in its synthesis
of spirituality from both Eastern and Western perspectives into a
mystical whole. The overarching goal of the book is to empower
people to bring more love into their lives, their bodies, their
relationships, their choices, as well as their overall sense of
purpose in life. Aging Well shepherds readers through a
step-by-step look at themselves, their choices, and their
lifestyles, informing them holistically while motivating them to
take personal responsibility for their own aging process, so that
they can live healthier, more meaningful lives. All of this and a
global perspective, too, create a uniquely comprehensive sense of
what it means to age well, precisely because the spiritual
perspective implicit in Aging Well insists that we do not age well
alone. We age as part of a community, as residents on this earth,
and as part of a global community. While this comprehensive and
paradigmatic view of what it means to age well could feel
overwhelming, Aging Well inspires, encourages, and invites readers
to new understandings that enable them to make more loving choices
for themselves, for others, and for the planet. That is the only
way that all of us can truly age well.
