What is life like for: Eightysomethings

Transitions, Letting Go, and Unexpected Happiness

by Katharine Esty, PhD

I am not yet in my eighties but hope to be one day as I cannot bear to think of the alternative. Many fear this stage of life but Doctor Esty will help readers to anticipate, move through this stage and have a life that can include joy and meaning.

The book’s chapters cover a wide range of topics. A few of these include Dementia, Spirituality and Unexpected Happiness. Readers experience these topics with the benefit of the interviews conducted by the author.

In addition to its audience of eighty somethings this book could also be usefully read by adult children or others who have relationships with those in this age bracket. It will help them to understand its unique place in the life cycle.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses! View all posts by joycesmysteryandfictionbookreviews
