This insightful and moving book looks at how people of various ages
view the process of aging and the social and emotional perspectives
it evokes. Will You Still Need Me?: Feeling Wanted, Loved, and
Meaningful as We Age is a touching and incisive book organized
around interviews with individuals of various ages who have
responded to questions about aging. The interviewees offer their
unguarded thoughts about aging with a significant other-or alone.
They reveal their self perceptions, their feelings about the
future, their self-image as it relates to aging, and their
expectations and impressions of aging itself. They also share their
concerns that with aging comes not only possible loneliness, but
also meaninglessness and even uselessness. Psychotherapist Angela
Browne-Miller weaves the findings into a philosophical,
research-based overview of cross-generational concerns and feelings
about aging. Her book opens a window into the hearts and minds of
our parents, our peers, and our children as they look at the aging
process and at how individuals, society, and families treat aging.
Through the sensitive, up-close-and-personal, bird's-eye view of
the people interviewed for this book, aging unfolds into a deeply
moving experience, one we all share. Includes some 50 interview
reports describing people's views regarding the aging they see
around them and their own aging processes Presents a group of
sensitive illustrations and photographs by the author
Considering the many ways people seek emotional pleasure,
relaxation or escape in self-harmful ways - from excessive alcohol
use and drug abuse to smoking, overeating, compulsive gambling,
out-of-control spending and even lesser behaviors like habitual
nail-biting - there are few of us who do not have, or know someone
close who has, an addiction or habit they wish they could break.
The problem common to all, says author Browne-Miller, is that
psychological reactions to events have motivated behaviors which,
in turn, have created biochemical reactions in the brain that
actually wires it for repeating the habit or addiction. In this
groundbreaking book, Browne-Miller explains simply and clearly how
we can control our thoughts to rewire the brain and beat the
pattern that spurs repeating harmful habits, and addictions.
The author examines the numerous facets of 'implicit intelligence
policies'those unspoken directives that often profoundly influence
social and educational policies-and their impact on policies
regarding measured and actual mental ability.
