Beschreibung
We are living longer and our lifespan after the middle years continues to extend due to medical advances. But how do you age wisely. From ancient Greece to the 21st century, the greatest philosophers and psychologists have considered this question, and remarkably, their opinions converge. There is a single essential task - integration - that once accomplished, equips us to cope with the many problems we are likely to encounter as we get older. Exploring the common ground shared by the Stoics and the Existentialists, William James and CG Jung, clinical psychologist Frank Tallis explains how we can embrace and accept our mortality, how we can achieve meaning in our lives, and how we can understand the passage of time and make the most of it. 'This is a rich and beautiful book. Using a range of perspectives and vignettes, Frank Tallis shows, rather than tells, us about the diverse ways that we might attain wisdom; wisdom that we need to sustain us as we move into the autumn of our years' Gwen Adshead, author of The Devil You Know. 'Wide ranging and well organised. a prompt from the outside world to access the resources we already have yet don't quite appreciate for the journey that lies ahead' The Times.
