Description
The latest entry in the mega-bestselling YOU: The Owner's Manual franchise, this fun, accessible guide to happy, healthy aging helps seniors and their families navigate the most common medical, financial, and social dilemmas of their golden years.
In a wired world, it's challenging for seniors and those who love them to find reliable information about the intricacies of aging: health concerns, social isolation, disease, legal and financial issues. An ever-expanding aging generation is left with daunting questions about life-but no good solutions.
Enter the newest entry in the world-renowned YOU: The Owner's Manual series of health titles. Acclaimed physician Michael Roizen teams up with lawyer Ted Gordon to dissect and debunk every aspect of our senior years, equipping readers with the knowledge, wisdom, and strategies for living strong and long; remaining financially secure; escaping ever-abundant scams; and being an asset, rather than a burden, to our families.
Shot through with warmth and pragmatism, this book makes health the prism for practical advice, made accessible by amusing cartoons and helpful sidebars. Each chapter covers a common issue seniors face, along with its biological underpinnings and proven solutions, including:
Navigating the challenges of driving, and whether to give it up
Handling new relationships and new living situations
Wading through the dizzying paperwork of healthcare
Rethinking and making the most of retirement
Ensuring you have enough money to last the rest of your life-and how to share it with your family
Geared to seniors and the families who love them, this book will help readers embrace, rather than dread, their golden years.
