Narratives of Positive Aging by Amia Lieblich
A community of elders who meet daily and spontaneously at the seaside exemplify the idea of positive aging. Through their individual life narratives, This book explores the impact of routine, physical exercise, and social relationships on the well-being of these seniors, and portrays the safe environment fostered by their discourse and wisdom.
As I reflect on Lieblichs book as a whole, I have a great admiration for the author and for the participants who are aging positively in a community of their own design.. As a whole, the book is as practical as it is scholarly. It is not short on relevamt research content, interpretation by the author, or ideas about gerontology. It is not short on content that illuminates how the author constructs the aging experience either. It is timely and relevant to current discourse concering aging. * PsycCritiques *
