Narratives on Positive Aging: Recipes for Success highlights the
true stories and enhanced writing of diverse contributors on
subjects related to positive aging. Organized thematically, the
various chapters address topics such as family life, storytelling,
the influence of money and career, sexual identity, politics, and
more, and the part these play in lives that continue to be
well-lived as people age. Each chapter includes an original
introduction to the chapter's theme, which places the stories in
context. A series of essays and brief memoirs on multiple themes,
and reflections for educators, written by educators, enable
instructors to use the book most effectively in their courses. Each
chapter ends with concluding thoughts and discussion questions for
use in class or as writing prompts. The organization and subject
matter of the book are appropriate for both undergraduate and
graduate students in gerontology. Narratives on Positive Aging is
designed to serve equally well as a supplemental reader to primary
texts on issues in gerontology, or as a unique stand-alone
textbook. The story-telling narrative also makes the book of
interest to lay readers in community groups or retreat settings.
