Time's Bounty
"A guide to growing old with grace and wisdom."--Kirkus "An elegant rumination....Wise, unvarnished."--Publishers Weekly Change your perspective about aging. Here is a bracing view of the surprises that lie ahead, as age enkindles in us new expressions of life. Our culture isn't kind towards age. The dominant drive is to celebrate youth, and striving for more and more of everything, while age, we're told, brings only depletion and loss. Even as Americans live longer, most consider old age with dread. It's time to challenge these assumptions. As author Philip Weinstein writes, "Old-age situations, assumed to announce the end-of-the-road, actually generate fresh life-moves. As we age, we tend to become 'lighter' in more senses than one....Indeed, we may find ourselves catapulted into late-stage 'adventures' the young never dream of." Time's Bounty offers a view of age that differs greatly from our preconceptions--surprising, emancipating, sometimes even joyful. In five brief chapters, the author takes us from the generative discoveries that age occasions to the freedom that comes in life's late chapters, when no company or institution or cause any longer owns us. At last, we are our own, in ways we could not imagine when younger. Weinstein, a retired professor of English, draws not only on his own insights but on the insights found in writers he taught for decades: Shakespeare, Yeats, Proust, Faulkner, Eliot, Beckett, and others. Brief forays into their imaginative works add further illumination to the author's own discoveries regarding the dramas--both the trials and the gifts--of old age. Whatever your own life's season, whether you're still in the Spring or deep into life's Winter, Time's Bounty will change the way you think about age.

It works beautifully with honey, lemon, lamb, seafood, chocolate, and soft cheeses-adding something a little different.Beyond flavour, lavender has traditionally been used to support sleep, calm nerves, ease stress, and much more. Some of these benefits are backed by research, others come from generations of use. Either way, it's a herbknown for its calming, soothing qualities. Researching the historical uses of lavender in health is fascinating. I particularly enjoyed reading about the 'four thieves' and lavender usage in ancient Roman times where it's benefits for brain health were recognised.So whether cooking for flavour, wellness, or just for the joy of it, lavender is a lovely ingredient to try.

Joyspan
A New York Times bestseller! From America's Gerontologist, a practical guide that offers a radical and optimistic approach to longevity. Dr. Kerry Burnight--known to her many followers as "Dr. Kerry"--is sparking a revolution to make older better. Fed up with the fear driven, anti-aging hysteria, hundreds of thousands of people turn to Dr. Kerry for her practical, effective and uplifting approach to navigating longevity--our parents' and our own. In Joyspan, Dr. Kerry shares her popular philosophy and tools in a comprehensive resource that moves readers from fear to peaceful confidence. Dr. Kerry's insights, along with those of her inspiring 95 year-old mother Betty, are based upon a profound truth: the key to good longevity isn't the length of your life, it's the quality of your life. Books that advance lifespan and "healthspan" don't address the whole picture. Dr. Kerry introduces readers to the critical concept of "joyspan" based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, choice, and purpose. Part manifesto, part how-to guide, Joyspan proves that internal strength is as critical as external fitness.Filled with both perspective-shifting strategies and troubleshooting for the specific challenges of aging--including caregiving, dementia, unexpected diagnoses, isolation, uncoupling via death or divorce, financial concerns, and more-- this book is an essential resource for a generation looking for a better way to grow older--and to help our aging parents do the same.
