Leaving the Autumn Years

Now that youre a senior citizen, does it seem as though your life has shrunk around you, leaving little behind the outside world? Perhaps your friends have begun to avoid youor vice versa. Maybe youve even become a grump. If any of this sounds familiar, dont worry; you can find a reasonable way to change your behavior. Leaving the Autumn Years explores how seniors react, both negatively and positively, to changes in their daily lives and how their mind-sets in various situations can shift dramatically. It considers why people behave the way they do and provides self-assessments designed to help you understand your lifestyle and reactions with new perspective. At age seventy-nine, author Gerald Kastigar shares his knowledge and wisdom, built from his life experiences as a keen observer of human nature; examines how people create the conditions and mind-sets of their lives; and offers methods for adjusting your outlook to improve your health and happiness. This self-help guide seeks to assist older people in understanding truths about themselves and discovering how to make the changes they feel are necessary.
