reviewed Time of Our Lives: The Science of Human Aging on July 17, 2015 Time of Our Lives: The Science of Human Aging
I originally picked this book up hoping it would help me get over my dismay at the appalling number of wrinkles beginning to populate my neck and face. While Sherwin Nuland, surgeon and Yale professor, seems sympathetic to the physical perils of aging, he teaches us that "growing old is not a disease but an art - and for those who practice it well, it can bring extraordinary rewards."
Nuland has straightforward advice for keeping an aging body from deteriorating: exercise, don't smoke, eat in moderation, keep active doing things you enjoy. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining social/family relationships. Don't think of setbacks as endings succumbing to despair; rather find pleasure in small things. "In tragedy the unwise see only loss; the wise find meaning." Find something to be enthusiastic about. Continue to make contributions.
His chapter on wisdom was especially engaging to me. His style is somewhat professorial, but still easy to follow.
