| Annotation | Most people tend to have very negative ideas about ageing. This book concentrates on the psychological and emotional aspects of ageing. It attempts to explode four myths about ageing, that it is a steady downward spiral; is a miserable time; illness is completely beyond our control; and how long we live is all in our genes. It then suggests ten steps to ageing positively: set your intention to age positively; find out what you believe about your own ageing; replace the negative beliefs with positive ones; create a positive mental image of yourself; maximise your optimistic outlook; increase your sense of gratitude; be mindful; undertake a life review; establish what is most important to you; and develop a life plan for your later years.
