Book Synopsis Life Begins at 60 by : Frieda Birnbaum
Download or read book Life Begins at 60 written by Frieda Birnbaum and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Frieda Birnbaum made headlines eight years ago when she gave birth to twin boys at the age of sixty. And despite being a psychotherapist who had counseled other mothers for decades, Birnbaum secretly wondered: What have I gotten myself into? Can I keep up? It turned out she could, and then some. Like so many people who take on new things at age sixty and older, Birnbaum discovered a new lease on life. She felt more energized than ever (on most days, anyway) to run after twins Josh and Jaret. She parlayed the fame into TV and radio appearances, commenting on subjects from Bill Cosby to Hillary Clinton. Her psychotherapy practice flourished. And as she reinvigorated her career, her relationships with her family, including her husband of more than forty years, grew even stronger. To be incredible mothers (and partners), Birnbaum believes women must be fulfilled and challenged as people first. The secret, she discovered, was to welcome growing older rather than fear it. This captivating and inspiring memoir is complemented with practical advice for a positive outlook and staying active while aging. As Birnbaum reveals, it’s possible, even easy, to look and feel fabulous—and glamorous—in our sixties and well beyond.

Book Synopsis Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish.

From pain control to intuitive occurrences, adventures in the wild and newly developed techniques for use with herown grandchildren, Janai settles into a delightful approach for her own holistic aging process.She includes keeping her inner child active with a vivid imagination, playful demeanor and fun as tools for a healthy aging process. Ms. Mestrovich acknowledges that cross-generational activities with young children and youth of all ages keep the brain stimulated and the demeanor more active.

Fun grandparenting lends a hand in a joyful manner. Having a sense of adventure and deep purpose for helping others, Janai Mestrovich adventures into threatening and unusual experiences that allow her to tap more of her own human potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not since you graduated from high school have you had such an opportunity. Back then you were about to embark upon Adulthood, and the big question was "What do I want to be when I grow up?" Now, you're about to retire, and a whole new Adulthood awaits you. Think of it. You have possibly 20 to 30 years of freedom staring you in the face. You don't have to do anything. No one's expecting you to show up. You don't have to leave the house, or even get out of bed. This time, the big question is "What do I want to do with the rest of my life?" Starting Over: Reinventing Life After 60 presents inspiring stories of men and women across the US who asked themselves that important question, and arrived at surprising and meaningful answers. They figured out that just beyond the deliciousness of sleeping late, savoring the newspaper and morning coffee, and spending the day at the bridge table or golf course lurked a life without purpose. Stan Appelbaum and his wife, Cathy, moved to Bonita Bay, FL when they retired. "For a lot of people around here, the highlight of their day is the Early Bird Special at the local restaurant. Cathy and I could see ourselves fast going down that same road. We spent our first couple of years in Florida boating and golfing. Then one day we looked at each other and asked "Is this all there is?" Today Stan's life has gone full circle. Abandoned to an orphanage as an infant and growing up in abusive foster homes, Stan now devotes himself full-time to bettering the lives of Florida foster children. It is the most meaningful work of his life. Tom Skilling of Orleans, MA said, "Forced retirement, as the airlines do with pilots at age 60, is degrading. I'd been a pilot for 30 years and didn't know what I was going to do when I had to retire. I tried a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and sat around a lot. Then I got cancer. "The next twelve months of my life were lost to radiation and recovery." He leaned forward. "I'm convinced that if you sit around, you die. Your body gets weak. Your mind gets sluggish. You have nothing to talk about. You're not doing anything!" Tom isn't sitting around anymore. He and his wife, Mimi, a clinical psychologist, opened a seasonal restaurant on Cape Cod. They are challenged and enriched by it. They've made new friends through it. They have plenty to talk about now. "Just quitting work does not fulfill the human spirit," said Pat Smith, 71, of Passe-a-Grille, FL. "So many people retire from something, rather than to something. I liked my job and figured I'd be bored to tears in retirement. But then one day I saw an injured pelican below my balcony. I called the Seabird Sanctuary in St. Petersburg to rescue him. Little did I know that experience would give me a reason to retire. Now, four days a week, I travel up and down the Tampa/St. Pete coast rescuing injured herons, egrets, pelicans and the like for that same Sanctuary. "Can't you just see this grey haired old lady running across your yard with her big net?" she laughed. How do you discover what you'd like to do with the rest of your life? How do you ensure that you are passionate about those 20 to 30 years ahead, and avoid settling into a life without meaning? Through intimate interviews, the men and women of these brief stories share with you how they went about finding their retirement' paths, and what they've learned along the way. They tell you what their new lives entail, and how they got started. In the process, they unveil a variety of possibilities for you to consider for your own retirement, and offer pointers on how to get started. Crammed with ideas that can be mixed and matched from one story to another, the joyful stories of Starting Over: Reinventing Life After 60 will inspire, enlighten, and
