How Can We Embrace Aging?

Written by Behrman House Staff, 01 of September, 2015

In Wise Aging: Living with Joy Resilience, & Spirit, Rabbi Rachel Cowan and Dr. Linda Thal invite us to a new stage of life-active aging-and give us the tools we need to embrace it.

We have the power to prepare--to build our resilience and navigate the challenges. Will we turn towards the opportunities, and continue to find joy and meaning in our lives? Strengthen relationships with our adult children? Have the courage to find new ways of living? How can we make the most of the aging process, and develop into deeper, wiser people?

In Wise Aging, Rabbi Rachel Cowan and Dr. Linda Thal give us the tools we need to find our own answers to these questions.
