Description: |
It's time to focus on what we gain with age, not what we lose. . . . In Secrets of Becoming a Late Bloomer, Connie Goldman and Richard Mahler confirm in a striking way what I've believed for some time: we need a brand-new image of aging. That new image must replace yesterday's view of maturity as a period of stagnation and decline with the idea that the latter part if life can be truly exciting and a time of growth, productivity, and newfound pleasures-if we know the secrets of becoming a late bloomer. "A potpourri of wonderfully provocative examples of folks who respond creatively to the changing conditions in the later years of their lives." |
