Do you think of the older years as a bleak time of life? If so, you are in for a pleasant surprise. While aging does present challenges, the years over 65 also offer unexpected rewards and pleasures. In Silver Sparks: Thoughts on Growing Older, Wiser, and Happier, Meg Selig explains why older people are happier people and how you can add joy to your own later years.
Selig's popular blog “Changepower” on psychologytoday.com has already garnered well over 7 million page views. In Silver Sparks, she assembles her most popular blogs on aging along with brand-new personal essays. Quote pages and mini-essays called “Sparks” provide additional guidance, fun, and inspiration.
Topics include:
• Happiness in the older years
• Fighting your own ageism
• How to stay confident as you age
• Life with a hard-of-hearing partner
• Finding purpose as you age
• Easing the fear of death
• And many more.
Silver Sparks is part self-help, part memoir, and completely entertaining.
