About this audiobook
In the past century, average life expectancies have nearly doubled, and today, for the first time in human history, many people have a realistic chance of living to eighty or beyond. As life expectancy increases, Americans need accurate, scientifically grounded information so that they can take full responsibility for their own latter years. In The Art and Science of Aging Well, Mark E. Williams, MD, discusses the remarkable advances that medical science has made in the field of aging and the steps that people may take to enhance their lives as they age.
The Art and Science of Aging Well gives a realistic portrait of how aging occurs and provides important advice for self-improvement and philosophical, spiritual, and conscious evolution. Williams argues that we have considerable choice in determining the quality of our own old age. Refuting the perspective of aging that insists that personal, social, economic, and health care declines are persistent and inevitable, he takes a more holistic approach, revealing the multiple facets of old age. Williams provides the resources for a happy and productive later life.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I found this book disappointing. There was nothing in the book that was novel, unique, insightful, or even creative. The ideas presented are pretty vanilla types of things like diet, exercise, mental activity, and dealing with critique and the prospect of health problems and eventual death. Some of the quotes in the book were humorous or insightful but the author does not add any value to already existing knowledge. I think this book is only valuable to the ignorant or unlearned.
