From Age-Ing To Sage-Ing: A Revolutionary Approach To Growing Older

Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, a beloved and respected rabbi, had an uneasy feeling over two decades ago. He was getting older, and his fears of death and infirmity were bothering him. So he decided to embark on a mission to discover the source of his fears. Reb Zalman discovered a way to make aging the most meaningful and joyful time of his life through a series of events that included a vision quest in a remote cabin and studies with Sufi masters, Buddhist teachers, and Native-American shamans.

Reb Zalman shares his wisdom and experience with readers in this inspiring and informative guide. He teaches readers how to design an aging process that is filled with adventure, passion, mystery, and fulfillment, rather than anxiety. Reb Zalman offers techniques based on scientific research—both neurological and psychological—that will broaden horizons beyond the narrow view of "the present" into a grand and enduring eternity. He gives readers a helpful and moving way to use their own experiences to nurture, heal, and perhaps even save a younger generation from the prison of how we typically regard aging by harnessing the power of the spirit and explaining exactly how to become a sage in their own community.

Reb Zalman has added a brand new introductory chapter to this updated version of his popular book- From Age-Ing to Sage-Ing: A Revolutionary Approach to Growing Older, which provides insight into the cultural shifts that have occurred since the first edition of this book was published in the 1990s. Reb Zalman discusses the role that the 78 million (now aging) Baby Boomers are currently playing in shaping how we think about aging. He shares new and inspiring ideas about the significance of elders' roles in shaping society, as well as how elders can embrace the power they have to provide value and wisdom to those around them. He has also included a final chapter in which he shares his own experience with aging and the time he refers to as "The December Years."

This is a book for seniors who want to age into an exciting and passionate life. Schachter-goal Shalomi's is to help readers let go of the negativity, fear, and anxiety that often accompany aging and instead embrace the fact that with age comes some great benefits, such as wisdom. He also discusses the stigma associated with aging and offers some practical advice on how to remember that what others think of you is none of your business. Haters will hate, as the saying goes. From Age-Ing to Sage-Ing: A Revolutionary Approach to Growing Older is among the best books for seniors and older adults.
