{"product_id":"aging-well-through-storytelling-rosemary-j-link-9780197808450","title":"Aging Well Through Storytelling: Mind's Magic Door","description":"Growing old is often associated with negative images and commentary. \u003cem\u003eAging Well Through Storytelling\u003c\/em\u003e explores the beauty of aging and identifies key strategies and practices to age well. Weaving professional analysis and personal experience, Rosemary J. Link tells the story of a lifespan from infancy to seniority. Each chapter focuses on a life stage, laying the conceptual foundations from psychosocial theory and then marrying research to reality with a pair of personal pieces by Link and her mother, Gwendoline--some correspondence between the two, and others as separate reflections on the same stage of life. The stories touch themes such as being trusted with tasks as a child, truanting, questioning authority, being absorbed in the joys and stings of beekeeping, being overwhelmed midlife, recovering from the death of a child, and embracing gender and reconciliation. Through this tale of two lifetimes, Link harnesses the science of lifespan development and her own life journey to present aging as a positive process of discovery and acquiring wisdom. Linking real-life stories to concepts, she shares practice interventions and practical ways to age with vitality and embrace this precious aspect of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosemary J.
