In this book Dr. Goldenthal presents the oldest years as a stage of life with special challenges and opportunities. This time of life is the culmination of many previous life stages when we have been confronted with important issues and choices. As an elderly person herself, Dr. Goldenthal discusses the concerns people are likely to have in the oldest years. She focuses on dealing as wisely as we can with these concerns and to accept what we cannot change. When we have done this to the best of our ability, we are then free to consider what gives us pleasure and what we value most in our lives.

My Review

Not being very pleased with aging myself, this was an enlightening book. Sort of encouragement and a lecture at the same time:)

This is not a long book and yet the information included is quite valuable. While it is food for thought, it also is an excellent reference book giving you the keys to research further.

A good book by Dr. Goldenthal for we oldest old. Do I think I’m part of it, most certainly not. Well, ok, I'll admit it grudgingly. Time to accept and read a helpful book like this, I suppose.
