CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 19, 2009 — Author Norma Roth is not accepting the supposed inevitability of losing brainpower that comes with entering "that age." In her new book, Aging Gracefully with Dignity, Integrity & Spunk Intact: Aging Defiantly: Including Ten Tips to Keep People Off Your Back (published by AuthorHouse), Roth explains how panicked she became when she thought about "entering that age."
Using humor and hypothesis, Roth debunks the myths of being 55 and older, and shares her tips for enjoying life to the fullest. As Roth walks the reader through the fears of old age, she gives reminders that getting old is something that happens to everyone. By chapter eight, Roth has the reader past the panic stage and into taking charge of where their life is going.
Roth writes:
You have been all too willing to play a game that more and more does not comport with scientific and medical fact. If your goal is to maximize your opportunities in this age of expanding opportunities for full participation in the world you live in – your world – then your inquiry must simply be: "How can I take control of situations that interfere with furthering my own interests and development?" "How can I break away from the fears and panic, push aside the concerns of entering that age by handling them?"
Her response is short and simple: Get on with your life – rich in possibilities.
In the introduction to part two of Aging Gracefully with Dignity, Integrity & Spunk Intact: Aging Defiantly, the age of the Silver Generation begins as Norma shows the reader how to build on their strengths and discover the hidden treasures of "that age."
