About this deal

Now if I had heard that (being a baby boomer and, hence, rebellious by nature), I would have just ignored silly advice from a clueless white male. I can see more clearly how harmful age-related beliefs have hurt me, from when I was hesitant to try things in my youth because I thought myself to be "too young" up until now, when I worry about attempting something due to being "too old. Interesting read, it's definitely an important topic to learn about however the book for me was repetitive. Now she shares the secrets to a healthy and vibrant long life in this powerful and authoritative book. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much in terms of how to change aging beliefs so was pleasantly surprised when she addressed it.

I appreciate this discussion of the power of mental and emotional attitudes although I think that levels of toxicity, poor food quality and high chronic socioeconomic stress are at least equal factors causing premature aging in all age groups. Levy not only teaches us to think differently about ageing, she shows us how that new way of thinking can and will enhance our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

I was just interested enough to give it a try, perhaps due to being the right age that such matters as ageism are starting to perk my interest. She demonstrates that many health problems formerly considered to be entirely due to the aging process, such as memory loss, hearing decline, and cardiovascular events, are instead influenced by the negative age beliefs that dominate in the US and other ageist countries. Explaining science accurately in the language of average readers is difficult, and few are good at it (Stephen Hawking springs to mind). Fascinating, inspiring, and moving, this book holds one of the precious keys to a healthy aging society. Positive, practical and full of fresh insights, Breaking the Age Code will dismantle your assumptions about how we get older and leave you looking forward to what the future holds.

One can only assume that an editor without much scientific background made cuts and tucks to make the idea more “punchy. Please also list any non-financial associations or interests (personal, professional, political, institutional, religious or other) that a reasonable reader would want to know about in relation to the submitted work. She demonstrates that many health problems formerly considered to be entirely due to the aging process, such as memory loss, hearing decline, and cardiovascular events, are instead influenced by the negative age beliefs that dominate in the US and many other countries. Progressives such as Ibram X Kendi and his ilk are out to dismantle tradional family roles and values.

Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Like for instance how majority of illness be it CVDs, hearing impairment or memory its root cause not age but rather the stereotypical mindset that comes with ageing. I particularly like the exercises at the end of the book that have helped me to examine my own age beliefs and ways to make a change. Seek out activities with a more diverse age groups - volunteering, taking a class, an exercise group etc. Yet I’ve succumbed to a lot of the ageist beliefs that marketers are constantly beating us with on aging and how to avoid it (especially geared toward women).
