From our earliest years, we are told that youth will be the best time of our lives and everything that comes after will be a sad decline. But for many, Wendy Lustbader asserts, youth is a time riddled with tension, confusion and the angst of uncertainty. As we get older, we gain self-knowledge, confidence, and an increasing capacity to be true to ourselves. Through first-person stories and Lustbader's observations, Life Gets Better looks beyond the physical challenges of aging into the discoveries and pleasures of growing older. Book jacket.

Annaliz Victoria Fallon, much-loved elderly heroine of OLD IS A 4-LETTER WORD, returns in Ethel Stockton's sequel, OLDER IS BETTER. Annaliz's independent spirit has not been broken by having a stroke. While living in an assisted living facility in the Pacific Northwest, she refuses to succumb to life in a wheel chair. Her determination drives her on as she makes plans to return to Mexico-to her favorite chair, her patio, and her friends. Ethel Stockton, 88 years old, lives alone in Mazatlan, Mexico, where she operates a Bed and Breakfast. She has 2 sons, 5 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Born in 1915, she lived most of her life in the Pacific Northwest, where she spent 50 years as an Interior Designer. Ethel believes everyone should live their lives with gusto; that age doesn't matter. It is only what you make of it. In 2003, she published OLD IS A 4-LETTER WORD, the story of an elderly woman living in Mazatlan, Mexico who insists on living life her way, hates the word old, and makes believe it doesn't pertain to her.

How many times have you heard someone utter the phrase "You're not getting older, you're getting better"? Well, not anymore! You're getting older . . . and here's the book to illustrate just how old you are. Maybe there is some small measure of truth in that phrase, but only if you can ignore worn-out knees, failing eyesight, having the sex appeal of a red cabbage, hair loss (or growth-in all the wrong places), menopause, arthritis, osteoporosis . . . Life as you knew it-parties, spontaneity, climbing a flight of stairs, fun-is over. No, you are not getting better. You are getting older, slowly, painfully, irrevocably. In no time at all, you'll be ready to hang a DOA tag on your big toe in preparation of the coroner's arrival. You're Not Getting Better, You're Getting Older comes complete with DOA toe tags (enough to go around, since all your friends are old, too) and handy drawings illustrating your aging body and the predicaments it gets you into as it grows older.

Age is an important number, but it can also be deceiving. After 40, most people say they feel younger than their years, some lie about their age, and many attempt to hide the signs of growing old. Better with Age addresses the many myths and paradoxes about the aging process. Although most people think of their later years in terms of decline, they can be one of the best times in life. This book presents the latest scientific research about the psychology of aging, coupled with insights from those who have succeeded in doing it well, such as Maya Angelou, Bob Newhart, Jared Diamond, John Glenn, and John Wooden. We are all aging, and many people are concerned about what to expect with advancing years. Retirement, happiness, and brain health are some of the many topics covered in this book. Better with Age shows what we can do now, at any stage in life, to make sure we enjoy old age.

The quotations range from the irreverent ("The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age."--Lucille Ball) to the whimsical ("Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional."--Walt Disney), to the sage ("Do not grow old no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born."--Albert Einstein). This delightfully illustrated collection makes a timeless gift for anyone who loves to be amused and inspired.

Everything you need to know about aging but were too busy living to ask. Pamela Blair, a psychotherapist in her 60s, has a few things to say about aging. Open this book to any page and find one of over 100 brief, kickstarting essays and journaling questions for moving into your third act with a sense of adventure and possibility. Blair offers dozens of practical and motivational ideas for handling everything from health and libido to the death of a spouse, money, legacy, and more. From the book: Your body is changing, your family and friends are changing, your strength and speed of mental processing are changing, and your priorities are changing. How are you dealing with these changes? Denial? Acceptance? As for me, if acceptance means "approval," I say no, I don't approve of some of what is happening as I age. If acceptance means I will work change into my life, then I say yes. If change means painful loss and disappointment, I say no, I don't want any of that! (And do I have a choice?) If change means growth, forward movement, and a refreshed attitude, I say yes! Let Pamela Blair will guide you through the thoughts and feelings about aging that may be dragging you down. Let her point the way to a different, optimistic and clear eyed, way of getting older--better. Previously published as The Next Fifty Years.

Carl Honoré captured the zeitgeist with his international bestseller, In Praise of Slow. Now he tackles another rising global movement: our revolutionary new approach to a human inevitability--ageing. A revolution in how we age is on its way. Yes, ageing is inevitable: one year from now we will all be a year older; that will never change. What can and will change is how we age--and how we can all take a much bolder approach to doing it with vigour and joy. The time has come to cast off prejudices and to blur the lines of what is possible and permissible at every stage of life. In other words: we need to learn to re-imagine our approach to later life. Emboldening ourselves in older age demands big structural changes. For a start, we will have to tear up the old script that locks us into devoting the early part of our life to education, the middle chunk to working and raising kids, and whatever is left over at the end to leisure. In an age-inappropriate world, these silos will dissolve. We'll embrace the idea that we can carry on learning from start to finish; that we can work less and devote more time to family, leisure, and giving back to our communities in our middle years; and that we can remain active and engaged in our later years. Carl Honoré has travelled the globe speaking to influential figures who are bucking preconceived notions of age, whether at work or in their personal lives. He looks at the cultural, medical, and technological developments that are opening new possibilities for us all. Bolder is a radical re-think of our approach to everything from education, healthcare and work, to design, relationships and politics. An essential and inspiring read for everyone interested in our collective future.

From four stunning and accomplished French women—a charming bestseller about how to slip into your inner cool and be a Parisienne. In short, frisky sections, these Parisian women give you their very original views on style, beauty, culture, attitude and men. The authors—Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline de Maigret, and Sophie Mas—unmarried but attached, with children—have been friends for years. Talented bohemian iconoclasts with careers in the worlds of music, film, fashion and publishing, they are untypically frank and outspoken as they debunk the myths about what it means to be a French woman today. Letting you in on their secrets and flaws, they also make fun of their complicated, often contradictory feelings and behavior. They admit to being snobs, a bit self-centered, unpredictable but not unreliable. Bossy and opinionated, they are also tender and romantic. You will be taken on a first date, to a party, to some favorite haunts in Paris, to the countryside, and to one of their dinners at home with recipes even you could do -- but to be out with them is to be in for some mischief and surprises. They will tell you how to be mysterious and sensual, look natural, make your boyfriend jealous, and how they feel about children, weddings and going to the gym. And they will share their address book in Paris for where to go: At the End of the Night, for A Birthday, for a Smart Date, A Hangover, for Vintage Finds and much more.
