They've broken SuperAging down into seven simple components--Attitude, Awareness, Activity, Autonomy, Achievement, Attachment, and Avoidance--and in this groundbreaking book, they show how you can put these forces to work in your own life. From taking control of your health and health care to revolutionary ways of thinking about retirement, money, housing, and even relationships, you'll discover how to make your seventies, eighties, nineties, and beyond some of the best years of your life. Why settle for getting old when you can thrive?"--
