Description

Society has prescribed this idea of growing older as sad and lonely-which may not speak to your experience at all. What if you are having a great time? What if instead of being seen as burdensome by society, you're looking forward to the next phase with hope for discovery and new opportunities?  Connecting with Ourselves and Others as We Age validates this and more!

Book 2 in the Aging with Finesse series, Mary Flett offers essays that provide the wit, humor, and wisdom for aging better and age well. It's important to remain connected with oneself as well as others over the lifespan in order to stop feeling alone or isolated and in order to counteract the social pressure to just fade away.

These essays on how to stay engaged socially, emotionally and spiritually will challenge you to think about what kind of legacy do you want for yourself, your family, and your community.  They offer ways you can live a life rich in meaning and purpose now.

Mary L. Flett, PhD is an author who used to be a psychologist. In addition to her writing, she is a nationally-recognized speaker and has led seminars on aging across the country. In this second book in her series, Aging with Finesse, she shares her insights and wisdom gleaned from over 30 years of working with elders as a psychologist and a lifetime of mentoring by older friends and relatives. She is the Executive Director of the Center for Aging and Values and is the founder of Five Pillars of Aging, where she offers seminars online and in-person on aging better and aging well.
