Publisher Description: As they reach middle age, most men begin looking forward to "what's next." They gear up to experience renewed productivity and purpose and are more conscious of their health. A Man's Guide to Healthy Aging is an authoritative resource for them, and for older men, as well. In collaboration with a variety of medical experts, the authors provide a comprehensive guide to healthy aging from a man's perspective. Edward H. Thompson, Jr., and Lenard W. Kaye--a medical sociologist and a gerontologist and social worker--offer invaluable information in four parts: Refuting the ageist stereotype that men spend their later years "winding down," this book will help men reinvent themselves once, twice, or more--by managing their health, creating new careers, and contributing their skills and experiences to their communities. |
