Retirement. You’ve worked for it, planned for it, and dreamed about it: life’s great permanent vacation. But what if retirement could be measured in more than hours on the beach, days on the golf course, and weeks of travel? What if retirement were the beginning, not the end, of your life’s greatest work? What if the rest of your life could be the best of your life? New Man Journey is for any man who longs to make retirement about more than recreation.

Yet, this is not a dark or dour look at the demon of Alzheimer’s. Whouley shares the trying, the tender, and the sometimes hilarious moments in meeting the challenge also known as Mom.

Story
In Losing It, William Ian Miller brings his inimitable wit and learning to the subject of growing old: too old to matter, of either rightly losing your confidence or wrongly maintaining it, culpably refusing to face the fact that you are losing it. The "it" in Miller's "losing it" refers mainly to mental faculties - memory, processing speed, sensory acuity, the capacity to focus. But it includes other evidence as wel l- sags and flaccidities, aches and pains, failing joints and organs. What are we to make of these tell-tale signs?

Story
Marc Freedman, hailed by the New York Times as “the voice of aging baby boomers [seeking] meaningful and sustaining work later in life”, makes an impassioned call to accept the decades opening up between midlife and anything approximating old age for what they really are: an entirely new stage of life, which he dubs the encore years. The whole 60- to 80-year-old period is simply new territory, he writes, and the people in this period constitute a whole new phenomenon in the 21st century.

Erfolg beginnt im Kopf - Gabriele Stöger und Mona Vogl erzählen, wie es funktioniert!Erfolgsrezepte klingen immer so einfach: Fettpölsterchen? Mehr Bewegung! Karrierestau? Sich selbst besser verkaufen! Stress am Arbeitsplatz? Zeitplanung! Warum funktionieren diese Rezepte dann ausgerechnet bei mir nicht?Wir stellen uns ständig selbst ein Bein. Wir wissen zwar, was wir sollen, doch: Wir geben zu schnell auf, weil wir selten vorher prüfen, ob uns das Ziel wirklich nützt, wie realistisch es ist, was es uns kosten wird. Ständig flüstert uns der kleine Mann im Ohr: "Das geht schief."

Agata vive con la nuora, vedova del suo unico figlio, e la nipote, madre di un bimbo di tre anni. Le piacciono i gioielli e gli abiti eleganti, ama guardarsi allo specchio e spazzolare a lungo i capelli, che ha di un bianco abbagliante. Emma vive sola, ha lavorato in una fabbrica di iuta e in seguito come cuoca in un convitto. Se ha freddo si butta sulle ginocchia una coperta che ha fatto con le sue mani. Cucina da sé i propri pasti e ogni giorno, dopo cena, si concede un bicchiere di liquore fatto in casa.

Irgendwann wird uns bewusst, dass unsere Eltern ins fortgeschrittene Alter kommen. Ihre Kräfte lassen nach und die alltäglichen Dinge gelingen immer weniger. Als Kinder fragen wir uns dann, was zu tun ist. Gerontopsychologin Katja Werheid zeigt, wie wir es schaffen, für unsere Eltern da zu sein, ohne sie zu bevormunden, und wie wir mit alten Konflikten Frieden schließen, ohne dabei faule Kompromisse einzugehen. Sie warnt vor "Blitzangriffen" und appelliert stattdessen für Empathie und Offenheit in der Kommunikation mit den Eltern.

From cherished memories of weekends she spent as a child with her indulgent Nana to the reality of the year she spent "ladysitting" her now frail grandmother, Lorene Cary journeys through stories of their time together and five generations of their African American family. Brilliantly weaving a narrative of her relationship with Nana - a fierce, stubborn, and independent woman, who managed a business until she was 100 - Cary looks at Nana's impulse to control people and fate, from the death of her mother and oppression in the Jim Crow South to living on her own in her New Jersey home.
