And there is something to worry about, though it isn't what you'd expect: research shows that having a bad attitude\u003cbr\u003etoward aging when we're young is associated with poorer health when we're older. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese worries tend to peak in midlife; but in \u003cem\u003eLighter as We Go\u003c\/em\u003e, Mindy Greenstein and Jimmie Holland show us that, contrary to common wisdom, our sense of well-being actually increases with our age--often even in the presence of illness or disability. For the first time, Greenstein and Holland--on a\u003cbr\u003ejoint venture between an 85 year-old and a fifty year-old--explore positive psychology concepts of character strengths and virtues to unveil how and why, through the course of a lifetime, we learn who we are as we go. Drawing from the authors' own personal, intergenerational friendship, as well as\u003cbr\u003ea broad array of research from many different areas--including social psychology, anthropology, neuroscience, humanities, psychiatry, and gerontology--\u003cem\u003eLighter as We Go \u003c\/em\u003eintroduces compassion, justice, community, and culture to help calm our cascading fears of aging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mindy Greenstein, Jimmie Holland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 5.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190693794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMindy Greenstein\u003c\/strong\u003e, PhD, is Clinical Psychologist and Psycho-oncologist, Writer and National Speaker, and Consultant to the geriatric psychiatry group in the Department of Psychiatry \u0026amp; Behavioral Sciences at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJimmie Holland\u003c\/strong\u003e, MD, is Wayne E.
