Book review by Richard L. Weaver II, Ph.D.
There
are a number of things that make this book an excellent choice. First,
it is expertly written. Being direct and to the point, it talks
directly to readers as if the authors are in the same room, and the
writing style is comfortable, relaxed, and engaging.
The
second thing that makes this book an excellent choice is that sections
are short so that it can be read in brief moments when you don’t have
the time for a long, involved, and committed read.
The
third thing that makes this book an excellent choice is the brief,
interesting, and human-interest vignettes that are set apart in sections
that are gray in color. These segments are always relevant to the
material and useful.
The
fourth thing that makes this book an excellent choice is the practical,
specific advice. Throughout the book there are tips, suggestions,
questions, quizzes, activities, and scales for rating yourself. It
offers so many opportunities for readers to engage in self-assessment.
The
fifth thing that makes this book an excellent choice is the topics
covered. Topics include your health, keeping your body young, keeping
your mind young, engaging socially, financial advice, and your
retirement vision.
The
sixth thing that makes this book an excellent choice is all the
additional resources the authors provide at the back of the book.
Twenty-two pages of this 241-page book are devoted (in two appendices)
to resources. (Their bibliography is ten pages long.)
Overall, I am impressed with what the authors have put together here, and I highly recommend this book.
