The Art of Growing Old: Aging with Grace
by Marie De Hennezel (Author)
Translated by Sue Dyson
Booktalk: In this timely and essential book, de Hennezel offers a fresh perspective on the art of growing old. She confronts head-on the inevitable grief we sustain at the loss of our youth and explains how refusing to age and move forward in life is actually what makes us become old. Combining personal anecdotes with psychological theory, philosophy, and eye-opening scientific research from around the world, she shows why we should look forward to embracing everything aging has to offer in terms of human and spiritual enrichment. The Art of Growing Old is a thought-provoking, brave, and uplifting meditation on the later years as they should be lived.
Snippet: Can we learn at sixty, seventy, or eighty to liberate our buried creativity if we have not done so earlier in life? Yes! It is never to late to meet ourselves, and to liberate the feelings or emotions we have been holding prisoner. It is never to late to develop our creativity, rediscover our childhood souls, and trust our intuition.
