Description

Get older without getting old!  

Welcome to the dazzling new world of SuperAging, where everything you’ve been taught about aging is challenged. Getting older does not need to mean the end of accomplishment and growth. For SuperAgers, the period after age sixty-five can be one of the most productive and fulfilling times of life. 

SuperAging is already a reality for millions. But the science, business, and culture of aging have changed at such a rapid pace that they can be hard to keep up with. That’s where authors David Cravit and Larry Wolf can help. They’ve broken SuperAging down into seven simple components—Attitude, Awareness, Activity, Autonomy, Achievement, Attachment, and Avoidance—and in this groundbreaking book, they show how you can put these forces to work in your own life. From taking control of your health and health care to revolutionary ways of thinking about retirement, money, housing, and even relationships, you’ll discover how to make your seventies, eighties, nineties, and beyond some of the best years of your life. Why settle for getting old when you can thrive?

Advance Praise

“To meet the challenge of population, we do not need a drug—we need a cultural revolution, and this book provides an excellent manifesto for that revolution. We need a new language, a new culture, and a new social reality in which living longer is seen by both individuals and society as an opportunity and a cause for celebration.” —Sir Muir Gray, former Chief Knowledge Officer of the National Health Service (UK)

“We live in a society that treats our seniors as if they are fragile and should be protected behind glass. This book puts the lie to that. I read it. I was a superager; now I’m going to be a SuperAger.” —Marshall Cohen, former Deputy Minister of Finance, Government of Canada

“Of the many books on aging, this is one of the most coherent and accessible, sharing insights from lived experience, research, and therapy that will provide the reader with a wealth of information, a healthy game plan, and an optimistic worldview. It approaches successful aging not as a one-size-fits-all enterprise but rather in sync with a precision medicine type of approach that recognizes heterogeneous paths to continued life satisfaction and challenges the reader to discover theirs.” —Marsha E. Bates, PhD, Distinguished Professor and Vice Chair of Research, Department of Kinesiology and Health, Rutgers University

“SuperAging is one of the most powerful forces of disruption today. The possibility of ‘getting older without getting old’ will transform every aspect of our society. This book is your essential guide to what’s happening, why it matters, and how to apply it to your own life.” —Jim Harris, author of Blindsided and The Learning Paradox

“Informative, engaging, and encouraging, this book offers more detailed information and resources to the reader than others I’ve read on aging. As a SuperAger myself, who did not retire until age 75, I found the information here to be both useful and exciting as I look forward to the next 20 years of my life! I’ve recommended this to my friends and family.” —Karen Goldstein, MBA, PhD, former Associate Dean, School of Arts and Sciences, University of Pennsylvania

“This magnificent book is an essential guide for anyone wanting to continue to thrive at any age. It goes well beyond simply living longer and explores how those extra years can become amazingly creative and productive so that aging is not about simply ‘surviving’ longer but rather thriving longer.” —Lisa da Rocha, Executive Coach and expert on Neuro-Transformational leadership

SuperAging moves super fast and never gets old! A riveting ride to a revolutionary new reality of aging setting the pillars to embrace for gracefully getting older while shaping a sharp vision of an extended future of sustained good health, well-being and accomplishment towards a destination of true happiness with contentment.” —Terrence P. O’Brien, MD, Distinguished Professor of Ophthalmology, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine

“In a landscape that is cluttered with fads and gimmicks, SuperAging is the quintessential guide to rescue you from the perils of poor health and age-related decline.” —William Simmons, MD, Memorial Healthcare System

SuperAging is a compelling guidebook to getting the most out of life as we age. Many readers will have 20 or 30 years ahead after reaching age 65. By drawing on advancements in many fields, the authors persuasively illustrate exciting new opportunities for living those bonus years with vigor. The book deftly addresses seven pillars of aging to help us reimagine and then actualize our prospects for a relevant and optimistic future.” —Brent Green, author of Generation Reinvention

Featured Reviews

Really enjoyed this book. A great read that clearly articulates where we are in society with default ageing versus SuperAging. This is an area and topic that I am very interested in, and I found this book thought-provoking, well written, full of usable and practical information, and surely writing that plays an important part of our health and wellness conversation for the years to come.

I really liked this book! It has an entirely different focus than most books about aging, so even if you have others on your bookshelf, this is a great addition.

The book focuses on seven different areas of our lives: attitude, awareness, activity, autonomy, achievement, attachment, and avoidance. The coverage of each area is superb with many ideas that are worth careful consideration to make the aging process more enjoyable. The book promotes the idea that aging can be done in a healthier fashion with a better attitude than how people expected their golden years to be lived in the past. .
