Aging and Renewal: Actualizing Our Lives

This book offers a vision of renewal as one encounters the novel obstacles of later life, showing that aging can be a season not only of decline but of discovery. Caring for the body is explored in depth through six case studies—skin, feet, hands, teeth, senses, and colon—each illustrating the paradox that what once solved a problem can later become its cause. From these stories emerges a broader reflection on the basic triad of well-being: keeping consciousness, mobility, and the social dimension tuned throughout our lives.

The work also situates aging within larger rhythms, drawing parallels between personal health, evolutionary principles, and cultural renewal across generations. By weaving together medical anecdotes, psychological insights, spiritual reflections, and historical patterning, it encourages readers to recognize aging as an opportunity for growth, creativity, and service. Realizing the obstacles and principles of renewal early is to our advantage at any age.

Read this work to gain both practical and unsuspected insights that can help you live not only a longer life, but a fuller one.
