"Comment dire aux femmes : ' C'est merveilleux de vieillir ! ' quand depuis leur plus jeune âge on les met en garde contre les rides et les cheveux blancs ? Quand le spectre de la vieille peau continue de hanter tous les esprits ? Quand, passé quarante ans, les femmes disparaissent littéralement de nos imaginaires, de nos livres et de nos écrans ? Face à ce paradoxe féministe, l'autrice et militante Fiona Schmidt a décidé de prendre le sujet à bras le corps. Plutôt que de vanter les mérites d'une vieillesse fantasmée, de donner des conseils pour ' bien veillir ' et de fliquer les abus de botox, elle décortique la honte, les humiliations, les silences qui collent au corps des femmes, le double standard sexiste qui pèse sur leur vie, leur sexualité ainsi que leur carrière, et nous entraîne dans une odyssée intime, culturelle et sociale terriblement libératrice où l'on pourra croiser, entre autres, Kim Kardashian, Angelina Jolie, Susan Sontag et Simone de Beauvoir. Sous sa plume drôle et émouvante, ' vieille peau ' n'est plus une insulte mais un état d'esprit dont nous pouvons toutes et tous nous emparer, jeunes et moins jeunes, non plus pour réfléchir à ce que le temps qui passe nous inflige mais à ce que nous allons bien pouvoir faire du temps qu'il nous reste !"

Radiant Rebellion: Reclaim Aging, Practice Joy, and Raise a Little Hell

"Join Karen Walrond, author of The Lightmaker's Manifesto, in this intriguing investigation into how we can reclaim aging, cultivate joy, and resist ageism. During her own year of transition—a milestone birthday, a wedding anniversary, the emptying of the nest—Walrond, in the buoyant and luminous style her readers have come to love, does a deep dive into dimensions of getting older, including health, beauty, spirituality, connection, adventure, and meaning and purpose. Through conversations with social workers and neurologists, activists and clergy, Walrond satisfies her curiosity about why the dominant culture treats aging as a time of dwindling capacity. She also embarks on a series of experiments that help her rebel against convention: letting her hair go naturally gray, going on a silent retreat, revamping her health practices, and plotting her next adventure. Internalized ageism is not our only option; we can write a different story of aging than the one we've been handed. With wisdom from luminaries who light our way, Walrond helps us radiantly rebel against the fads and assumptions that hold us back, redefine the adventure of getting older, and create a shining future of expanded potential. We might even raise a little hell while we're at it!"

Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory: What's Normal, What's Not, and What to Do About It, Secon

"As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as: ● What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging? ● Is it normal to have concerns about your memory? ● What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other brain diseases? ● How should you talk about your memory concerns to your doctor? What should your doctor do to evaluate your memory? ● Which healthcare professional(s) should you see? What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises actually work to improve your memory? What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss?"

Methuselah's Zoo: What Nature Can Teach Us about Living Longer, Healthier Lives

"Opossums in the wild don't make it to the age of three; our pet cats can live for a decade and a half; cicadas live for seventeen years. Whales, however, can live for two centuries and tubeworms for several millennia. Meanwhile, human life expectancy tops out around the mid-eighties, with some outliers living past 100 or even 110. Is there anything humans can learn from the exceptional longevity of some animals in the wild? In Methusaleh's Zoo, Steven Austad tells the stories of some extraordinary animals, considering why, for example, animal species that fly live longer than earthbound species and why animals found in the ocean live longest of all. Austad—the leading authority on longevity in animals—argues that the best way we will learn from these long-lived animals is by studying them in the wild. Accordingly, he proceeds habitat by habitat, examining animals that spend most of their lives in the air, comparing insects, birds, and bats; animals that live on, and under, the ground—from mole rats to elephants; and animals that live in the sea. Humans have dramatically increased their lifespan with only a limited increase in healthspan; we're more and more prone to diseases as we grow older. By contrast, these species have successfully avoided both environmental hazards and the depredations of aging. Can we be more like them?"

Getting My Bounce Back: How I Got Fit, Healthier, and Happier (And You Can, Too)

"You don’t have to run a marathon to be fit and healthy, or suffer through a triathlon that includes a half-mile swim in the ocean. But you do need an exercise habit. Especially as we age, exercise is not optional. Yet unless we had been athletes as kids or young adults, and few of us were, we do not know how to find our edge. Learning how to carve out time to meet our fitness needs or to push ourselves physically and mentally is one of the greatest challenges to aging well. Inspired by her popular blog “Be the Dog,” Carolee Belkin Walker shares her story of what it’s like to be a successful professional woman encountering all things fitness for the first time. Even if readers have never put on a pair of running shoes or repeatedly tried to develop a fitness habit, they’ll relate to the highs and lows of Carolee’s journey from the back of the pack to stumbling on a path to resilience and well-being. You could fit two Carolees inside what her body looked like in February 2014. But it is the powerful sense of confidence and resilience that’s had the greatest impact on her and inspires others. This book is about her digging in, discovering who she is, and seeing how far she can push herself to be strong, fit, healthy, and most important, resilient. Carolee’s writing is full of humorous situations as she decides to be an active participant in life and not take the setbacks, or herself, too seriously."

Carolee Walker (Author), Suehyla El-Attar Young (Narrator)
