This book encourages the use of emotional intelligence, which he describes in terms of recognising our own feelings and emotions and those of others, as a central strategy.
Financial planning is discussed in the context of BBs pushing retirement out, generally having better health, education and greater expectations of their retirement. The changes of ageing are outlined: physical, cognitive, sensory, and medication issues.
I was particularly pleased to see this as too often sex is avoided as a topic related to ageing!
Overall the book takes a very positive approach to ageing and I enjoyed reading it. It is a very informative resource not only for baby-boomers but for anyone wanting to learn more about the challenges of growing older and strategies for addressing them.
