Robert D. Reed Publishers
The basic premise of this revolutionary new book is that the original animal cells evolved in an atmosphere largely deficient in oxygen and thus, our ability to deal with this very reactive element is flawed. In order to survive in an atmosphere that gradually acquired more and more oxygen, our human ancestral cells enlisted the help of the mitochrondion, which to this day live within our cells. However, in the process of metabolizing oxygen the mitochrondion are easily damaged.

Loss of loved ones and social contacts combined with decreased mobility, health and financial problems, and entrenched negative thinking all contribute to age-related depression in seniors.

The authors have put years of practical experience into this workbook that can help older adults come to terms with their feelings and develop the skills needed to turn a negative mood around, deal with underlying problems, and reconnect with others around them. Readers learn how to set goals for feeling better physically with nutrition and exercise, improve their daily functioning, evaluate available medication options, deal with anxiety, make important social connections, build self-esteem, overcome the grief and sadness and find enjoyment once again in life.

Playing Life's Second Half

Paperback
Author:
David J. Powell
Published by:
New Harbinger Publications,U.S.
Park the Ferrari! This is "not a book about the male midlife crisis. Instead, it is an exploration of the shift in focus a man experiences as he progresses into the more mature years of his life. Aging men learn what it means to be an older man in our culture, and what physical and psychological changes to expect as they move into their second half-century of life. Meaning, the book suggests, develops only through spiritual exploration. Readers achieve a richer level of experience by reinvesting in intimate relationships and community. Without being preachy or abstract, this book gives practical advice about dealing with crises of identity, mortality, and belonging.
