 I
Don't Want to Be Old When I Get Old
A Lifestyle Experiment
"With so many of us living so long, who will take care of us?" asks gerontologist
Thelma J. Lofquist, Ph.D., in this insightful and motivating book.
In clear, direct prose, Lofquist explains that how we age is a choice for most
of us and advocates that how we make our choice profoundly can shape our later
years: "With each of us looking toward our personal futures, we have some voice
in the choice of being able to walk out of the care home after a visit, or watch
our more vigorous, healthy friends do the walking."
Not content to urge us into action in our self-interest, Lofquist offers specific
guidance for making ourselves fit for the challenge of independence in our twilight
years -- ideas that we can tailor to fit our individual needs. And she shows
how she overcomes her own psychological resistance.
Lofquist credits Socrates with offering a highly motivating goal: "What a crime
it is for a man to grow old without knowing the strength and beauty of which
his body is capable."
