Living Well Into Older Age

The materials in this booklet present surprising and hopeful information about aging. I gathered the information for a series of two workshops I did on Growing Well into Older Age: Vital Involvement, Joy, and Meaning in February 2015. A knowledgable person can use these materials to present workshops of their own. Contrary to popular beliefs, older people are vitally involved in their own lives. The materials in this book show that joy and meaning in older age happens through vital involvement with family and friends, giving to others, engagement with meaningful activities, and active spiritual lives. Older people and their adult children and grandchildren will find this material from the workshops full of suggestions for vital involvement well into the advanced years.
