Story
Empath: An Essential Blueprint for Understanding the Hidden Power of Highly Sensitive People is intended for persons, who want to harness their abilities as Empaths. It can also serve as a guide for individuals, who want to develop their skills as Empaths. There may be an incredible power of an Empath within you, but you're not aware of it. That power wants to be unleashed - only - you don't recognize it. If you often experience being too emotional, or being overly sensitive with people around you, and you feel drained with all the sensations you frequently endure, you may be an Empath waiting to be discovered.

Story
By 2035, 11.5 million Americans will be over the age of 85 - more than double today's five million - and living longer than ever before. To enable all of us to age with dignity and security in the face of this coming Age Wave, our society must learn to value the care of our elders. The process of building a culture that supports care is a key component to restoring the American dream and, as Ai-Jen Poo convincingly argues, will generate millions of new jobs and breathe new life into our national ideals of independence, justice, and dignity.

Story
The budget battles of recent years have amplified the warnings of demographic doomsayers who predicted that a wave of baby boomers would bleed America dry, bankrupting Social Security and Medicare as they faded into an impoverished old age. On the contrary, argues award-winning journalist Chris Farrell, we are instead on the verge of a broad, positive transformation of our economy and society.

In an era when people live longer and want (or need) to work past the traditional retirement age, the Vita Needle Company of Needham, Massachusetts, provides inspiration and important lessons about the value of older workers. Vita Needle is a family-owned factory that was founded in 1932 and makes needles, stainless steel tubing and pipes, and custom fabricated parts. As part of its unusual business model, the company seeks out older workers; the median age of the employees is seventy-four.

Story
In Losing It, William Ian Miller brings his inimitable wit and learning to the subject of growing old: too old to matter, of either rightly losing your confidence or wrongly maintaining it, culpably refusing to face the fact that you are losing it. The "it" in Miller's "losing it" refers mainly to mental faculties - memory, processing speed, sensory acuity, the capacity to focus. But it includes other evidence as wel l- sags and flaccidities, aches and pains, failing joints and organs. What are we to make of these tell-tale signs?

Both motivating and prescriptive, The Hourglass Solution suggests a new way of thinking about choices in life and how mid-life can be a time of renewal and expanded choices rather than a time of restrictions and the status quo. Identifying ways to get life "unstuck," The Hourglass Solution guides the reader through the process of redefining choices for the second half of his or her life.

In der Mitte des Lebens kann einem schon mal die Puste ausgehen. Alles stresst gleichzeitig: Beruf, Kinder, Eltern und die ersten körperlichen Macken, die nicht mehr weggehen. Geht es gefühlt ab 40 nur noch bergab? Nein, sagen Eckart von Hirschhausen und Tobias Esch. Im Gegenteil. Die Zufriedenheit nimmt für die meisten Menschen in der zweiten Lebenshälfte zu! In einem inspirierenden Dialog gehen die beiden Ärzte auf die Suche nach dem Glück, das durch Erfahrung, Weisheit und Reife wächst. Sie finden persönliche Vorbilder, diskutieren über wissenschaftliche Forschung und knüpfen an eigenen Erfahrungen an.

Story
Erst im Alter sind wir richtig jung! Wenn Jugend bedeutet, unbeschwert auf alles zuzugehen, mutig und neugierig zu sein, dann stellt sich die Frage: Wann haben wir das wirklich gelebt? Mit 20, als wir hin- und hergerissen waren, wo die Reise hingeht? Mit 30, als Stress und schlaflose Nächte uns erschöpften? Mit 40 oder 50, als Gewohnheiten vermeintliche Sicherheit vermittelten? Tatsache ist: Die Zeit von 60 bis 90 Jahren ist genauso lang wie die von 30 bis 60 - JETZT ist die Zeit, in der wir jung sein können.

Story
Die Sorge um die alt werdenden Eltern ist eine der großen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Familienstrukturen haben sich aufgelöst, das Leben in der globalisierten Welt fordert maximale Flexibilität und Mobilität. Die wenigsten von uns sind darauf vorbereitet, plötzlich für gebrechliche Menschen da sein zu müssen. Pflege reißt Lücken in unsere Lebensläufe und konfrontiert uns mit uns selbst. Dies umso mehr, wenn die Eltern den Zweiten Weltkrieg erlebt haben und in ihrer Seele unaufgearbeitete Traumata verbergen, die oft über Generationen nachwirken.

What makes Buffy the Vampire Slayer a "brave dame" but Ally McBeal a "wimpette"? In this witty, incisive look at the role of women on screen and page, Susan Isaacs argues that assertive, ethical women characters are losing ground to wounded, shallow sisters who are driven by what she calls, "the articles of wimpette philosophy."

Overtime offers a current, revelatory corrective to our understanding of the future of the American workforce and aging. Experts across economics, sociology, psychology, political science, and epidemiology examine how increasing economic and social inequalities, coupled with changes across generations or birth cohorts, call for a rethinking of the working-longer policy framework. Together, they argue that policies affecting work must be considered alongside policies affecting retirement and provide a path forward to achieve better retirement security for all Americans.

Die Periode ist politisch – ihr Ausbleiben aber auch. Als Miriam Stein von Hitzewallungen, Schlafstörungen und weiteren unangenehmen Vorboten der Menopause überrascht wird, erkundet sie die ihr von der patriarchalen Gesellschaft zugedachte Stellung neu. Leicht gereizt stellt sie fest: Die sogenannten Wechseljahre sind das letzte Tabu der Frauengesundheit. Bis zum heutigen Tag bestimmen Mythen und Fehlinformationen den Diskurs: Das Klimakterium erscheint als peinliche Hormonmangel-Krankheit. Der unfruchtbar – und somit unattraktiv – gewordenen Frau wird geraten, sich neu zu erfinden.
