NEW - Boomers & the
Changing Face of Aging
A new face of aging is emerging in the
21st century. Due to medical technology,
boomers face a whole new stage of life.
Shakespeare's view that "we adore youth
and abhor old age" is no longer valid.
Aging is now an exciting time to live and
to find meaning for the later years.
Boomers need to make plans for these
extended years, not only planning for
financial and health issues, but how to
find meaning that goes beyond the world
of work. Richard Morgan, Ph. D., $47
