65

by Eric Petty, Ellen Petty (Editor), Quinn Petty (Editor)

Overview

Simply stated, this book is for three types of people:

-People who are age 65 or older

-People who plan to live to be age 65 or older

-People who love someone who is age 65 or older

No matter your age, if you are blessed enough to see tomorrow, you WILL be a day older.  Aging is the one thing we all have in common and the product of successful aging is becoming a senior. 

The question is:  As a prospective or current American senior, how can you be successful at something for which you have no experience, nor many good examples to model yourself after? The fact is, when it comes to health and wellness, American seniors have consistently lagged behind their international peers. Many seniors find themselves falling into the same traps as their elders in a culture that seems to groom us from an early age to become unhealthy seniors. 

“65” has the answers! This book combines real experiences of American seniors, important data that every senior should be aware of, expert assessment about the issues that plague the American senior most, and the tools to carve out a personalized path to becoming a successful senior.  

We will cover:

-The traps of the healthcare industry

-How to handle pain with aging

-The non-financial investments that will save your life

-Why American seniors are lagging behind their international peers

-The groups who are out to exploit you as you age

-A seniors number one enemy

-Inside the mind of a dying senior

-and much more….
