MyNDTALK - Lighter As We Go - Jimmie Holland

MyNDTALK - Transitions ARE OK! Jimmie HollandFears of aging have been one long cascading domino effect through the years: twenty year olds dread thirty; forty year olds fear fifty; sixty fears seventy, and so it goes. And there is something to worry about, though it isn't what you'd expect: research shows that having a bad attitude toward aging when we're young is associated with poorer health when we're older. These worries tend to peak in midlife; Jimmie Holland shows us that, contrary to common wisdom, our sense of well-being actually increases with our age--often even in the presence of illness or disability.
