Living Well into Older Age: Vital Involvement, Joy, and Meaning

The materials in this booklet present surprising and hopeful information about aging. I gathered the infor-mation for a series of two workshops I did on Growing Well into Older Age: Vital Involvement, Joy, and Meaning in February 2015.

Contrary to popular beliefs, older people are vitally in-volved in their own lives. This workshop shows that joy and meaning in older age happens through vital involve-ment with family and friends, giving to others, engagement with meaningful activities, and active spiritu-al lives.

Older people and their adult children and grandchildren will find this material from the workshops full of sugges-tions for vital involvement well into the advanced years.
