Flourishing in the Later Chapters of Life: A Guide to Positive Aging - Paperback

by Richard Parsons (Author)

Flourishing in the Later Chapters of Life: A Guide to Positive Aging challenges the cultural bias that stigmatizes age, encouraging readers to embrace a more positive perspective on aging. The book leverages cross-cultural research and positive psychology principles to offer practical steps for viewing aging as a valuable phase of life to be nurtured and celebrated.

The book offers guidance aimed at improving health, life satisfaction, and well-being. Topics covered include the psychological foundations of happiness, stress management for longevity, self-discovery, and the significance of purpose and passion in later life. Each chapter includes a Call to Action section, which encourages readers to apply what they've learned to their own life.

Flourishing in the Later Chapters of Life is suitable for a wide audience, including those in adult development, gerontology, and psychology courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Its practical approach makes it particularly useful for courses focusing on life-span development and the psychological aspects of aging. The book is also appropriate for any reader who is interested in learning how to embrace their later years.
