Happiness and Flexibility in Ageing

Do you know the expression about the glass being half empty or half full despite having the same amount of water? A similar thing happens with ageing. It can be associated both with cognitive and physical decline and with new life challenges. The key to this positive perspective is called psychological flexibility.

This book proposes that older people and their carers should respond to the inevitable changes of ageing, like reaching retirement age, with openness and curiosity. Accepting new realities, adjusting strategies and setting attainable goals are examples of the flexibility that benefits psychological health at all stages of life, including the later stages. You can find out how to achieve it in these pages, which are filled with information, advice and practical suggestions, and learn to be happier.
