Over two decades ago, beloved and respected rabbi Zalman
Schachter-Shalomi felt an uneasiness. He was growing older, and
fears about death and infirmity were haunting him. So he decided to
embark on mission to get to the bottom of his fears. Through a
series of events that included a vision quest in a secluded cabin
and studying with Sufi masters, Buddhist teachers and
Native-American shamans, Reb Zalman found a way to turn aging into
the most meangful and joyous time in his life.
In this inspiring and informative guide, Reb Zalman shares his
wisdom and experience with readers. He shows readers how to create
an aging process for themselves that is full of adventure, passion,
mystery, and fulfillment, rather than anxiety. Using scientific
research--both neurological and psychological-- Reb Zalman offers
techniques that will expand horizons beyond the narrow view of "the
present" into a grand and enduring eternity. By harnessing the
power of the spirit, as well as explaining exactly how to become a
sage in their own community, he gives readers a helpful and moving
way to use their own experiences to nurture, heal, and perhaps even
save a younger generation from the prison of how we typically
regard aging.
In this updated version of his popular book, Reb Zalman has added a
brand new introductory chapter that provides insight into the
shifts that have taken place in our culture since the first edition
of this book came out in the 1990s. Reb Zalman speaks candidly
about the role the 78 million (now aging) Baby Boomers are
currently playing in how we think about aging. He provides new
inspiring ideas about the importance of an elder's role in shaping
society, and explains how elders can embrace the power they have to
provide value and wisdom to those around them. Additionally he has
added a concluding chapter in which he shares his own experience
with aging and the time he calls "The December Years."
