"Älter werden wir alle, auf das Wie kommt es an." Wie es gelingt, geistig jung, gesund und voller Elan zu bleiben, lebt uns Dr. med. Marianne Koch vor. "Erfolgreich altern" nennt sie das, und was alles dazugehört, erzählt sie hier. Marianne Koch beleuchtet physiologische wie psychische Aspekte, die das Altern mit sich bringt. Sie geht auf das Selbstbewusstsein ein, auf Ernährung und Bewegung, auf lebenslanges Lernen, das Problem der Einsamkeit, den Umgang mit Verlusten und zeigt, wie wichtig es ist, die Lust am Neuen nicht zu verlieren. Am Ende steht die Frage: Wer bin ich heute - und wer möchte ich morgen sein?

We’re so afraid of aging that we begin to devalue ourselves and others with each passing year. The words "30 years old" incites panic. Seniors live in separate communities, and they barely interact with young people, while middle-aged people spend millions each year on anti-aging products. But what if we have it all wrong?

You are not alone! Over 15.7 million people today are caring for a loved one with dementia. As caregivers, it’s easy for us to feel isolated. If you’re weary of the heartache and losses you both suffer, of the restless nights and chaotic days, then you know that our frustrations, helplessness, and fear can drive us to our knees. Dementia is cruel. But the caregiving journey that we are on also offers unexpected, uplifting gifts: profound personal insight; explosive spiritual growth; and discovery of our deepest self....

Ageism is too often an accepted form of bias, even though the facts support the value of aging. Airline pilots forced to retire at the arbitrary age of 65 are usually at the top of their game. Forced retirement in most organizations remove highly skilled performers as well as role models and trainers for newer generations. Instead of revelling in who we are, we begin to try to look younger as soon as possible. People have become inured to "losing" abilities as they age instead of appreciating new abilities that only age can bestow.

By 2035, 11.5 million Americans will be over the age of 85 - more than double today's five million - and living longer than ever before. To enable all of us to age with dignity and security in the face of this coming Age Wave, our society must learn to value the care of our elders. The process of building a culture that supports care is a key component to restoring the American dream and, as Ai-Jen Poo convincingly argues, will generate millions of new jobs and breathe new life into our national ideals of independence, justice, and dignity.

The budget battles of recent years have amplified the warnings of demographic doomsayers who predicted that a wave of baby boomers would bleed America dry, bankrupting Social Security and Medicare as they faded into an impoverished old age. On the contrary, argues award-winning journalist Chris Farrell, we are instead on the verge of a broad, positive transformation of our economy and society.

Story1
In Losing It, William Ian Miller brings his inimitable wit and learning to the subject of growing old: too old to matter, of either rightly losing your confidence or wrongly maintaining it, culpably refusing to face the fact that you are losing it. The "it" in Miller's "losing it" refers mainly to mental faculties - memory, processing speed, sensory acuity, the capacity to focus. But it includes other evidence as wel l- sags and flaccidities, aches and pains, failing joints and organs. What are we to make of these tell-tale signs?
