Reading Our Lives
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-530687-3 (ISBN)
Drawing on research in numerous disciplines - including cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and the psychology of ageing - this book presents a vision of aging that promises to accommodate such time-honoured concepts as wisdom and spirituality; one that understands aging as a matter not merely of getting old but of consciously growing old.
