Book Review
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Aging looks at every aspect of your senior life. From your professional life once you are over the hill to the kind of fun that you can have in the decades to come.
It also looks at the more serious parts of living the years beyond work-life. The time when you will have to adjust to the new reality of aging. When your body may not be able to stay in tune with your mind and people around you will look at you with a perspective that you may not appreciate.
She warns that you will no longer be asked opinions in important matters, your needs and preferences would take a back seat and you will generally be invisible to the people around you.
These are only some of the challenges that you will have to handle psychologically in a system that is already biased against you. The author informs you on the legal rights you have and tells stories that show the worst that can happen if you do not take the reins in your hand.
The author gives you tips on what you can do after you are no longer employed and the emptiness begins to set in. She shares various business options that you can pick from. This final part your life doesn’t make things easy and you have to revaluate almost everything and need to have a completely new plan – right from where to live, how to plan money, and how to have fun.
If you have not ever thought about this and are now staring at a life as a senior, the book is the perfect choice to begin. Not only will it give answers, but also put interesting questions that you may not have yet considered.
