Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores all aspects of health as men reach middle age and beyond. As they reach middle age, most men begin looking forward to "what's next." They gear up to experience renewed productivity and purpose and are more conscious of their health. A Man's Guide to Healthy Aging is an authoritative resource for them, and for older men, as well. In collaboration with a variety of medical experts, the authors provide a comprehensive guide to healthy aging from a man's perspective. Edward H. Thompson, Jr., and Lenard W. Kaye—a medical sociologist and a gerontologist and social worker—offer invaluable information in four parts: • "Managing Our Lives" describes the actions men can take to stay healthy. Here is information about how to eat well, reduce stress, and stay active for better overall health. • "Mind and Body" considers how physical health and state of mind are connected. It explores sleep, drug and alcohol use, spirituality, and attitudes about appearance—and explains how all of these factors affect mental health. • "Bodily Health" examines how body systems function and what changes may occur as men age. It covers the body from head to toe and reviews how to manage chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart conditions. • "Living with Others" shows the importance of interacting with friends and family. Topics include sexual intimacy, friendship, and caregiving, as well as how men can make the best decisions about end-of-life issues for themselves and their loved ones. Refuting the ageist stereotype that men spend their later years "winding down," this book will help men reinvent themselves once, twice, or more—by managing their health, creating new careers, and contributing their skills and experiences to their communities.

Book excerpt: Aging is a natural part of life, and it can be a positive and pleasurable experience. In The Beauty of Aging, author Angela Paul presents a candid and insightful guide for women over forty on how to live a youthful and joyful life at any age. Calling upon her own life experiences as a model, a marriage partner for more than twenty-seven years, and a long-time meditation practitioner, Paul provides a provocative, yet fun-filled roadmap to aging well. Divided into three sections, The Beauty of Aging addresses: ● The mind and the need to change outdated perceptions about aging. It explores how the sensual delights of pleasure and great sex start in the mind. ● The body and the issues of body image, self-care, healthy eating, exercise, and sleep. ● The spirit and the healing benefits of meditation, faith, service, and gratitude, and the transformative power of silence, solitude, and love. Confronting issues that come with growing older, The Beauty of Aging exhorts women to free their minds, love their bodies, and nourish their spirits to live joyfully and discover the beauty of aging.
