An excellent book entitled, The Lognevity Project, by Howard S. Friedman and Leslie R. Martin is an wonderful resource promoting successful aging. The book is based on a study of 1,500 Californians over 8 decades with plenty of self-tests to illuminate your own best paths to longer life. For example, many people who work the hardest..live the longest (think Warren Buffett); getting and staying married is not the magic ticket and prudence and persistence helps flouish through the years.
Innovative senior communities are embracing some of the principles in emphasis on stimulating activities that engage one mind and body. Just because someone chooses a community which provides security for ones' future and a wealth of conveniences and services; it doesn't mean they've stopped working. In many cases it is the contrary. They are active volunteers and still may go to the office.
Hope you enjoy reading this informative book and find some inspirations.
