Age Wisely On-The-Go With the New Wise Aging Kindle Edition
Have you ever thought about who you'll be when you're not doing what you're doing now?
We are each following a path, building a life, a career, a family. As we age and begin to think forward to retirement, we begin to reflect on these paths and the choices made along the way. We may begin wondering, 'What happens to me next?' or even 'What will I have left?'
During a recent interview with Rabbi Richard Address on Boomer Generation Radio, Wise Aging authors Rabbi Rachel Cowan and Linda Thal discussed how each of us can face these vital questions and many others in ways that increase our sense of spirit and well-being and also talked about how they came to write their popular and inspirational book.

More about Wise Aging
In Wise Aging, Rabbi Rachel Cowan and Dr. Linda Thal explore a wide range of issues with warmth, humor, and wisdom, including:
- Relationships with adult children and spouses
- Body image
- Romance and sexuality
- Living with loss
- Cultivating well-being
Wise Aging can be read as a standalone book, and it can also serve as an excellent resource for clergy- or lay-led book groups, lifelong learning groups, and other venues where ongoing learning, reflection on experience, spiritual practice, and pursuit of wisdom define the agenda.
Wise Aging Kindle Edition is available now here, or you can purchase the print version here.
