"With its revolutionary approach to lifespan development, this book gives you the practical tools to grow older with the wisdom, maturity, and understanding so desperately needed in today's world." "Whether you are a retired person, someone in midlife, or a younger person with an older loved one, the authors show you how to turn "age-ing" into "sage-ing," a process that brings more adventure, passion, mystery, and meaning into your life. Using contemplative techniques from the world's spiritual traditions and the latest breakthroughs in brain/mind research, you will learn how to review your life, come to terms with your mortality, harvest the wisdom of your years, and transmit a legacy to future generations. With step-by-step exercises, From Age-ing to Sage-ing lovingly teaches you how to transform the natural regrets, depression, and sense of loss that accompany growing older into renewed purpose and inner peace."--Jacket.
