How can you join the ranks of America's wealthy (defined as people whose net worth is over one million dollars)? It's easy, say doctors Stanley and Danko, who have spent the last 20 years interviewing members of this elite club: you just have to follow seven simple rules. The first rule is, always live well below your means. The last rule is, choose your occupation wisely. You'll have to buy the book to find out the other five. It's only fair. The authors' conclusions are commonsensical. But, as they point out, their prescription often flies in the face of what we think wealthy people should do. There are no pop stars or athletes in this book, but plenty of wall-board manufacturers--particularly ones who take cheap, infrequent vacations! Stanley and Danko mercilessly show how wealth takes sacrifice, discipline, and hard work, qualities that are positively discouraged by our high-consumption society. "You aren't what you drive," admonish the authors. Somewhere, Benjamin Franklin is smiling..

You're coming into the peak of your life. And because you’re already more attuned to your physical and emotional needs, and more inclined to commit to a healthier lifestyle, you're poised to live brilliantly for the thirty-plus years after menopause. All you need now is the program outlined in Younger Next Year for Women—which, for starters, will help you avoid literally 70 percent of the decay and eliminate 50 percent of the injuries and illnesses associated with getting older.

How? Drawn from disciplines as varied as evolutionary biology, cell physiology, experimental psychology and anthropology, the science behind Younger Next Year is clear. Our bodies are programmed to do one of two things: either grow or decay. Sitting in front of a screen all day tells the body to decay. Taking a walk or doing yoga tells the body to grow. Loneliness and stress trigger decay; love and laughter trigger growth.

Just as clear as the science is the goal: Become the active gatekeeper of your own body and gain the power to control those signals of growth and decay. Seven simple rules show the way, from #1 Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life, to #6 Care, to #7 Connect and commit.

They’re called Harry’s Rules, named for the doctor and coauthor—Henry S. Lodge, M.D.—who formulated them, and who explains the precise science behind each one. But since it’s one thing to know something’s good for you and quite another to put it into practice, Dr. Lodge, the scientist, is joined by Chris Crowley—coauthor, exhorter and living example—whose brusque charm and infectious enthusiasm will actually have you living by the rules. So, congratulations. You’re now about to get younger..

Too many people 'flunk' retirement--even after a lifetime of hard work. Why? Because they only plan on their financial needs, not their emotional ones as they move into the next phase of life.

The key to a successful retirement lies in your personality, NOT in your bank account My Next Phase--featured in The New York Times, BusinessWeek, and The Washington Post--offers a revolutionary, step-by-step process to figure out your personal "Retirement Style" and creates a unique retirement plan based on who you are. Take the My Next Phase quizzes and find out:

WHAT'S YOUR SOCIAL STYLE? If you're outgoing, you'll need companionship through your days, whether you leave your job or keep working. If you're contemplative, you'll need solitude as well as social connection to find the fulfillment in the years ahead.

WHAT'S YOUR STRESS STYLE? If you're resilient, you'll push yourself to find challenge--and get bored without it. If you're responsive, you'll need to pace yourself. Either way, you'll need a passion that gives you a reason to get out of bed each day.

WHAT'S YOUR PLANNING STYLE? If you're structured, you'll prefer to schedule your time. If you're flexible, you'll want a freer, less scheduled life.

And many more questions (and answers) to ensure a happy, fulfilling 'next phase' of life.

Amazing Grays is a candid, insightful and inspiring guide for maturing woman on how to live a vibrant, engaged and joyful life - regardless of the changes happening to ones body! Written for boomers who are unwilling to become feeble old women with boobs in their laps, dreams on the shelf, and Memory Lane their only destination, this book has a little to do with hair color and a lot to do with waking up to the possibilities of the second half of life.

When an epiphany in a hair salon convinced the author, Maggie Crane, to try life without hair dye, she had no idea it would bring her face to face with the fears and questions that unsettle many maturing women living in a cult-ure of youth and beauty... Who am I now that I m no longer young and fertile? Will I still be desirable? Will I become invisible? Is this the beginning of the end? Is it too late to make a difference? Who am I now?

This moment of reckoning is unique to every woman, whether it is winding down a career, an empty-nest or the changing landscape of her body. One way or another, at one time or another, we all feel the stress and uncertainty of passing through midlife.
On a quest to reclaim her inner peace and establish a new sense of self, Maggie confronted the notion that there is something wrong with growing older and turned to her wise-woman within to explore her beliefs, emotions and expectations about aging - from changing social and family roles to changes in body and appearance, even changes in perspective and purpose.

An entire section of the book is devoted to understanding and transcending the negative chatter in our minds and exploring roots of a deeper kind. With a series of simple questions, Maggie encourages readers to explore their own limiting beliefs and perspectives around aging. She shares how redirecting her focus from her packaging to her essence gave her the perspective to age mindfully and joyfully. (After, of course, a bit of kicking and screaming.) By sharing her experience and research, Maggie provides a wealth of insight and useful information on menopause, sexuality, health, and the sometimes extreme measures we take to maintain our youthful appearance. What began as a revelation in a hair salon ends with a deepening awareness and appreciation for the ongoing circle of life.

This is not an anti-aging book, nor a book about gray hair. It s about how to age with grace, gratitude and gusto!.
