At the End of the Day: Positive & Creative Aging After Midlife

The book starts by asking what is creative aging? And suggests it involves a long process that grows from all of life¿s experience if you have the courage to learn the lessons given to you by your own unique life journey. It shows how difficult it is to age positively in a culture that denies and denigrates aging. At age 85 the author Ruby Abrahams uses her own experience and that of others she has known to suggest ways of examining the life experience so that lessons can be learned. Thus older people become `elders¿ growing in their own wisdom and contributing with that wisdom to their families and communities.
