Offers practical and achievable prevention strategies for senior
moments. Some senior moments are what they seem—brain glitches no
more concerning than realizing the problem arose because of
something easily fixable such as wearing hearing aids. But others
are the result of complex information processing errors.
Unfortunately, until Preventing Senior Moments, no book or article
offered research-based strategies for preventing senior moments
that range from forgetting appointments to becoming disorientated.
People tormented with an ailment—physical or emotional—do not
want general suggestions for alleviating it. They seek something
that describes the problem in detail, determines its seriousness,
and offers advice that is specific, relevant, immediate, and
long-lasting. Preventing Senior Moments offers all four. Using real
life, relatable stories, Stan Goldberg reveals the processes behind
senior moments, how to recognize the signs, and strategies for
preventing them.
When Stan Goldberg was diagnosed with cancer, he chose to face his
fear by helping others who were already in the process of dying:
Stan signed up as a hospice volunteer and spent several years at
the bedsides of the terminally ill. In this book, Stan shares the
remarkable stories of people he met who were facing the end of
life. Their stories shine a light on the human capacity for beauty,
insight, forgiveness, and gratitude, as we see how people like us
deal with anxiety and sadness with bravery and love.
But what's especially remarkable is that the bravery and love
aren't as much expressed in grand, dramatic gestures as they are in
ordinary acts and small accomplishments: in simple efforts at
kindness, in asking for and receiving forgiveness, in the
abandonment of anger, and in learning to speak directly from the
heart--and to listen in the same way. What Stan ultimately
discovers--and shares here--are not lessons in dying, but rather,
lessons in learning how to live.
