Présentation de l'éditeur

Why shouldn t growing older be rewarding? It could be the richest season of your life. Johann Christoph Arnold has helped millions of readers through the challenges of marriage, parenting, forgiving, and grieving. Now in his seventies, he finds himself personally facing the limitations, indignities, regrets, and anxieties that come with aging. But he knows, from decades of pastoral experience, what older people and their caregivers can do to make the journey less daunting and more fulfilling. In Rich in Years, Arnold shares stories of real people who have found that one doesn't have to be young to enjoy life, or physically fit to make an invaluable contribution to society. No pop psychology or self-help manual, Rich in Years tackles tough issues such as combatting loneliness, living with dementia, reconciling with family, and making end-of-life decisions. What is good about growing old? Why do so many people dread growing old? What is the secret of those who continue to love life regardless of their health or circumstances? Contrary to the popular wisdom of our ad-driven culture, Johann Christoph Arnold suggests that trying to stay young is the worst way to grow old. He shows that people who accept aging and the changes it brings enjoy happier, healthier lives than those who fight against it and wish they were still young. The purveyors of Botox and Rogaine and entire multi-billion dollar cosmetics, pharmaceutical and fitness industries have been milking us of our life savings by fueling our anxieties. As an antidote, the author tells stories of older people he has known and admired to prove that one does not have to be young to have fun nor does one have to be physically fit to make an invaluable contribution to society.
