Before I Lose My Own Mind: Navigating Life as a Dementia Caregiver

"Both a practical guide and a deeply personal memoir from a psychologist, neuroscientist, and end-of-life doula, Before I Lose My Own Mind helps dementia caregivers find ways to support their loved ones—while centering their own well-being. When Dr. Beverly E. Thorn became a caregiver for her husband, Walt, she joined a massive army. Worldwide, unpaid dementia caregiving requires the equivalent of forty million full-time workers, and that number will only grow. But navigating dementia caregiving can feel like trying to climb a mountain in the dark—and few resources exist to support caregivers in finding their way. In Before I Lose My Own Mind, Thorn—a psychologist, neuroscientist, and end-of-life doula—provides an honest vision of caregiving that is tender, openhearted, and genuinely useful. Filled with resources and insights on financial planning, advance care directives, clinical trials, support groups, death with dignity, grief, recovery, and more, this book is a roadmap for all caregivers, whether they're family or friends, spouses or children, professionals or novices. For those coping with the grief, exhaustion, and loneliness of a challenge they never expected, help is out there. Surviving dementia caregiving is a team effort. Consider this book a part of your support crew."

Here We Go: Lessons for Living Fearlessly from Two Traveling Nanas

"It's Never Too Late for the Next Act When Ellie and Sandy met after becoming empty-nesters and then widows, their late-in-life friendship blew open a new, exciting chapter of life: living fearlessly and adventurously. But they never could've imagined it would also propel them-in their 80s-to accidental fame, going viral on social media as the 'travelling grannies,' inspiring people young and old across cultures when they went around the world in 80 days. While still working full-time, they've adventured the world for decades-always on the unbeaten path and a budget ($29.00/per night.) Their adventures transformed their outlooks, galvanized and deepened their friendship and their faith, and instilled a positivity that has proven wildly contagious. They've found purpose in the fact that people around the globe are inspired by their friendship and wrote this book to share their adventures with readers and to invite them to make their own. From the icy shores of Antarctica, the deep bush in Zambia on Medical Missions (without electricity or plumbing, just the restorative power of meaningful service and human connection), to the breathtaking night sky above the Syrian desert, life on the road has gifted Ellie and Sandy essential wisdom. Here We Go expands on the joyous message of hope that launched them into the spotlight, delivering tales of their exploits, advice and inspiration for anyone who aims to live with grace and gusto, connect authentically with others despite differences, and embrace our potential for joy and love. To quote Ellie and Sandy, "Make some plans and live!""

How Not to Become a Grumpy Old Bugger: A bloke's guide to living a better life

"They are the unhappy husbands, the disengaged grandfathers and the angry ‘letters to the editor’ writers. They sneer at generational change, know exactly where that bloody apostrophe should go and gather in sad groups bemoaning the modern world. They are Grumpy Old Buggers. Geoff Hutchison became determined not to turn into one himself upon retirement from a career in journalism. So he wondered: what is it about ageing that tends to have this effect on Australian men, and what can be done to arrest that development? Consulting a wide range of experts and mining his own experience and that of the other men in his life, Geoff has discovered how we can all live a happier, healthier and less grumpy life."

How Not to F*ck Up Your Relationship

"There are seven common reasons why relationships fail. An expert on midlife, and now relationships, Miranda Sawyer outlines these common reasons, using anecdotal and personal evidence to help readers eschew the pitfalls of a partnered life. Did you know that one in ten people argue with their partner about finances at least once a fortnight? The most obvious argument is centred around a lack of money. Statistically, it’s unlikely that both partners will be paid exactly the same amount, therefore is it really fair to go Dutch and split finances equally? Money is just one of seven contentious issues which can lead to a relationship going pear-shaped. The other six reasons remain to be read."

Unbreakable: A Woman's Guide to Ageing with Power

"Brought to you by Penguin. STRONGER MUSCLES AND BONES, INCREASED MOBILITY, LIFELONG INDEPENDENCE AND A NEW MENTALITY FOR AGEING WITH POWER. This cutting-edge guide to nutrition, training and lifestyle will optimise a woman's body for longevity, through menopause and beyond. Strong skeletal muscle drives healthy longevity – yet too often women neglect this important measure of fitness. Indeed, more than 70% of women experience musculoskeletal symptoms like joint pain, muscle loss and reduced bone density as they enter perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms – what Dr Vonda Wright refers to as the 'musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause' – can often set us up for osteoporosis, osteopenia, broken bones, increasingly limited mobility and reduced independence later in life. That trend stops now. Unbreakable outlines a new and direct path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate. Drawing on her decades of experience as a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon helping women at all fitness levels to repair their bones and regain strength, Dr Wright gives clear action steps to shield us from the timebombs of aging in four critical categories: - Exercise: Pinpointing the right combination of cardio and resistance training for you to aid in tissue regeneration and improve metabolic function. - Nutrition: What to eat to extinguish inflammation, repopulate your gut biome, and support strong bones and muscle growth. - Lifestyle: How to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep, and turn down systemic inflammation in your daily life. - Supplements: What to take to target the elimination of 'zombie cells' and improve your cell function. Including a six-week, master exercise protocol to jumpstart skeletal and muscular strength, critical information about baseline blood and mobility tests that will help you understand your current health state, and twenty easy, anti-inflammatory recipes, Unbreakable is an invaluable guide to adding more vibrantly healthy life to your years. © Vonda Wright 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025"

The Antifragile Man: A Tactical Guide to Strength That Defies Age

"WHY READ THIS BOOK? This book has been a long time in the making — a true passion project born from decades of experience, hardship, growth, and encouragement from those closest to me. It represents not only what I’ve learned, but what I believe must be passed on. The Antifragile Man was written first for the man in the second half of life — the one who knows there’s more gas in the tank, more to give, and more to become. But just as importantly, it was written for the younger man — especially those who’ve never had a real male role model to look to. If you’re that younger man, consider this your head start. Your shortcut to wisdom most men earn only after years of pain. This is not theory. It’s a tactical guide to physical strength, mental clarity, and moral integrity — principles that, when adopted and practiced, will enhance any man’s life, at any age. In a world that often downplays masculinity or distorts it entirely, we must reclaim what it means to be a good man — strong, compassionate, capable, and unshakable. For older men, that means modeling it. For younger men, it means learning it before the world teaches you the wrong thing. My hope is that this book becomes more than words on a page — that it becomes a blueprint for becoming unbreakable in the face of live's inevitable storms."

[German] - Funktionelle Langlebigkeitsmedizin in den 20er Jahren [Stand 2025]: Altern wie Methusalem

"Methusalem, der biblische Urvater, lebte laut der Bibel angeblich über 900 Jahre und gilt als Inbegriff von Langlebigkeit. Doch was ist dran an der Vorstellung, dass wir Menschen länger leben können, als es uns bislang bekannt ist? Das Altern ist ja so eine Sache. Manche von uns sind wie guter Wein - sie werden mit dem Alter nur besser. Andere wiederum altern wie Milch und landen schließlich im Kühlschrank des Lebens. Doch wenn wir uns mit der Frage auseinanderzusetzen, wie wir unser Leben verlängern und dabei auch in hohem Alter noch vital und gesund bleiben können, spielen beide Bilder eine Rolle. In diesem Hörbuch teilt Dr. Gersch seine eigenen Erfahrungen als Arzt, der sich auf Langlebigkeit spezialisiert hat, und kombiniert diese mit den neuesten Erkenntnissen der weltweit führenden Langlebigkeitsexperten. Das Ziel ist es zu zeigen, wie die modernsten internationalen Ansätze für eine längere Lebensdauer sich heute schon in die deutsche ärztliche Praxis integrieren lassen. Darüber hinaus beleuchtet Dr. Gersch die Gründe, warum wir alle nach einem längeren Leben streben und wie wir oft unbewusst das Falsche tun, um dieses Ziel zu erreichen (und wie wir diese Fehler, die uns viele Jahre unseres Lebens kosten, vermeiden können). Abschließend bietet das Hörbuch eine moderne philosophische Perspektive darauf, wie wir ein langes und glückliches Leben führen können, und erklärt, warum dies so vielen Menschen nicht gelingt. Und stattdessen Burnout, Depressionen und Energielosigkeit um sich greifen. In diesem ganzheitlichen Hörbuch geht es sowohl um die physische als auch um die psychologische Gesundheit. Dr. Gersch will Ihnen die nötigen Impulse geben, um Ihr Leben nachhaltig zu verändern und Ihr Wohlbefinden und Ihre Lebensqualität zu steigern. Um so idealerweise eines Tages mit Ihrem Urenkel ausgelassen spielen zu können. 3. Neuauflage 2025: Bereits innerhalb eines Jahres kann sich ganz schön viel tun in der Langlebigkeitsmedizin. Dieses Hörbuch nennt sich zwar »Funktionelle Langlebigkeitsmedizin in den 20er Jahren«, aber es war von Anfang an klar, dass die Empfehlungen der ersten Auflage aus 2023 nicht mehr die gleichen wie 2029 sein werden. Deshalb hat Dr. Gersch schon ein Jahr nach Erscheinen der zweiten Auflage aus 2024 das Hörbuch auf den aktuellen Stand von 2025 gebracht. Und einige Inhalte hinzugefügt, die den Leserinnen und Lesern der ersten und zweiten Auflage gefehlt hatten. Zusätzlich haben wir dem Hörbuch eine Community-Plattform angefügt, damit wir alle gemeinsam noch tiefer in das Thema einsteigen können. »Altern wie Methusalem?« ist kein Ratgeber im klassischen Sinne, sondern ein Hörbuch, das dazu anregt, über das eigene Leben und das eigene Altern nachzudenken, und gleichzeitig die modernsten Erkenntnisse zum Erreichen von Langlebigkeit praktisch aufbereitet. Denn wie Methusalem es uns vorlebt: Das Leben kann auch im hohen Alter noch erfüllt und spannend sein. P.S.: Es wird Sie überraschen, dass Sie in diesem Hörbuch trotzdem nicht die klassische Lösung von einer »ausgewogenen« Ernährung aufgezeigt bekommen werden - denn genau solche Ratschläge führen oft nicht zu der Langlebigkeit, die wir Menschen uns erhoffen zu erlangen. Der beste Weg dahin ist ein anderer."

Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity

"Brought to you by Penguin. The New York Times Bestseller In this breakthrough moment in the history of human health care, Super Agers is an evidenced-based guide to the revolution transforming human longevity. From his unique position as a leader overseeing millions in research funding, Dr Topol explains how you can benefit from new the treatments becoming available at a faster rate than ever, and the fundamental reasons — from semaglutides to AI — that we can be confident these breakthroughs will continue. More than a quarter of the adult population lives with two or more chronic diseases, with that figure increasing to over half in individuals aged 65 and older. Dr Topol explains the power of the new approaches to the worst chronic killers — diabetes/obesity, heart disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration—and how treatments can begin long before middle age, and even long after. In thirty years, we will have five times as many people at least one hundred years old and they will be healthier than ever because of the breakthroughs Super Agers describes. These remarkable discoveries are deeply inspiring about our human potential. We can now realistically see how we can make considerable headway for preventing age-related diseases and may one day be able to slow the body-wide aging process itself. 'An extraordinary book that offers a reality check as well as a blueprint for the future.' Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies 'A highly readable and engaging tour de force, Eric Topol takes on a field full of overblown or premature claims, using his personal expertise as a physician to wade through the mass of conflicting evidence to separate fact from hype and pseudoscience, and show us a path to healthy aging.' Venki Ramakrishnan, Nobel Laureate and author of Why We Die 'Imagine a world where diseases once thought incurable are treated, where we are healthier for longer. This future is getting close thanks to a radical convergence of AI and bioscience. In this gripping, vitally important and meticulously researched account, Eric Topol reveals the extraordinary breakthroughs that are transforming medicine—and our lives.'

[Spanish] - El Otoño Sagrado - El Arte De Envejecer Según Carl Jung

"This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. El Otoño Sagrado: El Arte de Envejecer Según Carl Jung Individuación, arquetipos, sabiduría, sueños y trascendencia en la vejez según Jung El envejecimiento no es solo el paso del tiempo, sino una etapa de transformación psíquica profunda. Este libro, inspirado en la visión de Carl Gustav Jung, explora la vejez como un proceso de individuación y plenitud. A través de una mirada psicológica, simbólica y espiritual, se propone resignificar esta fase de la vida como una oportunidad para la introspección, la sabiduría y el autoconocimiento. Jung veía la vejez como un viaje hacia la integración del alma, donde conceptos como el inconsciente colectivo y los arquetipos cobran especial fuerza. Figuras como el Viejo Sabio y la Gran Madre emergen con intensidad, iluminando el camino hacia una comprensión más rica del sí mismo. Lejos del declive, esta etapa es presentada como una culminación: un retorno a lo esencial, cargado de sentido. Cada capítulo actúa como un mapa para navegar los desafíos y dones de la madurez: la alquimia del envejecimiento, los sueños como mensajeros del alma, la confrontación con la sombra, la creatividad tardía y el redescubrimiento de la sexualidad y la intimidad. También se abordan la reconciliación con el pasado y la transformación de los roles familiares desde una perspectiva simbólica. En el corazón de la obra está la visión junguiana del envejecimiento como un proceso alquímico: la conversión de la experiencia en sabiduría, y del dolor en legado. Este libro no es una guía práctica ni un manual de autoayuda, sino una invitación a contemplar el otoño de la vida como un espacio de cosecha interior. Una obra para quienes buscan profundidad y sentido en la última etapa del viaje humano."
