Book Description
Thoughts, Experiences, and Research about the last twenty Years of your Life.This book is written in two parts: "The Aging Body" derives from the personal life experiences of Wolfgang Berg, an 84 year old. He brings observations from high-level amateur sports and personal stories of encounters with people living all over the world. He engages with older people who live on remote islands, mountain outposts, and next door in an urban space. He tells us of his studies of geriatrics, nutrition, wellness, and financial planning. He interviews retirees in nursing homes and studies elderly folks for consumer and marketing research purposes. He shares his thoughts on living a long, happy and healthy life. By contrast, the second part "The Aging Brain" by Jay M Pomerantz, MD, describes findings from neuroscience that increase the odds for people to enjoy the last quintile of life in health and happiness. It is the result of 50 years of psychiatric practice as well as research and teaching about the aging brain.The two parts reinforce each other. The result is an inspirational, practical and scientific guide to health and happiness towards the end of life.This book intends to answer the question: how can you increase the odds of making the latter years of your life pleasant and not miserable? It also suggests that you may possibly live longer and more healthfully.
