Description

We will discuss the recent book Eightysomethings: A Practical Guide to Letting Go, Aging Well, and Finding Unexpected Happiness by Dr. Katherine Esty, and share what she found after interviewing in-depth a cross-section of 128 individuals and 26 of their adult children. They talked about their experiences, joys and sorrows in life. Some of the chapter topics include: Health Matters, Holding On–Letting Go, Caregivers, A Shrinking World, Past–Future & Present, Transitions, Survivor Skills, Spirituality and Aging Wisely. We will learn about their thoughts and feelings and see what unexpected happiness they found.
