Product Description
This timely book, written by experts in gerontology and based on recent, solid research debunks the myth that slipping into one’s dotage is inevitable for baby boomers. Authors Sandra Cusack and Wendy Thompson draw on studies from Harvard, Berkeley, UCLA, and elsewhere to show how to keep an active, alert mind throughout life. The book explains the importance of goal setting, replacing old beliefs with "power thinking," finding "new creativity," and putting together a program and strategies that lead to staying mentally fit for life. |
