It provides practical principles for the ability to successfully cope with the negative processes by means of a positive focus and attitude.
What I like most about the book is its positive consideration of what it could mean to become older. At the same time, it also provides a balanced view. The authors do not claim to have found a fountain of eternal youth, nor do they attempt to whitewash the misery that age could bring. Instead, they acknowledge these realities while also providing very sound advice on what to do to be able to cope with such factors.
The book is written on a very intellectual level, approaching the topic by means of a theoretical framework before its practical application. Students, lecturers, researchers and other intellectual persons will therefore probably derive the most benefit from it. However, I also found that the language and style of the book are such that it might appeal to a...
The authors are not concerned with impressing the reader with their great intellect. Instead, the writing simply offers an honest look at the issue of aging and what can be done to cope with it.
In general, I think the writing is thoroughly enjoyable, precisely because the topic is relevant to everyone. There is no escaping old age and eventual death. However, one can enter these stages of one's life with grace, style, and success. In this way, one can continue to derive not only pleasure from life, but also to contribute to the lives of others in a meaningful way.
The book is clearly written from a perspective of both personal and collective experience. The authors provide the results of both theoretical and field research in order to bring to the reader a truly valuable reading experience. Because aging is a collective experience, the book is applicable to all persons of all ages.
Aging Public Health Issues Everything in the world changes and does not remain the same forever. Human development is also full of different phases. The three major phases of human life is birth, adulthood and death. Among these three major phases, aging is the process that a person encounters after he crosses the boundaries of adulthood. One very important thing about aging is that it is very subjective is nature. It is contingent
Coping Styles in Middle Aged Stroke Survivors Extant literature has been dedicated to coping styles in middle aged stroke survivors. Rochette et al. (2006) conducted a study to evaluate the adaptation process, participation as well as depression over a period of six moths in souses and fists-stroke individuals. In their study they described the changes in the process of adaptation (both coping and appraisal) within six months after the very fist
The gradual decrease in income, eventual dependency on other people and the government for financial resource, lack of activities to do, and the onset of physical and/or physical limitations as a result of aging are known causes of frustration, stress, and even depression among elderly people who have retired (Blekesaune and Solem, 2005, p. 80). In the case of Mrs. a, she has not experienced these negative feelings or
Such a life journey is not generally one that will encourage a great deal of compassion for younger women. While there is a great deal of popular psychology and culture that argues that suffering makes us compassionate, this is very often not the case. A woman who has been subject to emotional, psychological, and often physical abuse throughout her earlier decades would have to be saintly indeed not to feel
Typically a Japanese funeral follows the sequence: when someone dies, they are placed to rest in their homes. The corpse was placed with the head pointing the North, copying the deathbed of Gautama, and the head of the bed is well decorated. Then the previously mentioned encoffinment process. The first night after one's death is called the Tsuya; and it is for close family and friends to remember their beloved.
Shilts' essay, of course, is largely about his expedient status as a celebrity figure due to his work involving the education of the public about AIDS, which largely took place within the first five years of the disease's spreading. Death by aids is generally more time-consuming, and certainly not as quick as the rapid overtaking of the earth by the shadow of an eclipse. The author would more than
