From Library Journal
Goldman and Mahler have collected feel-good vignettes and intertwined them with practical suggestions and action steps for the 50 and older "adult-escent" years. Their premises are that postcareer life is a quest, not a crisis; that readers should focus on what is gained with age, not lost; that one must always accept personal responsibility for making choices; and that attitude affects outcome. The secrets of their book's title involve attitude, forgiveness, risk-taking, intimacy, health, humor creativity, and spirituality. None of this may sound terribly new, but to seniors who have never read a self-help book or attended a self-empowerment seminar, concepts such as visualizations, affirmations, and forgiving self and others will seem fresh. Whether revelatory or familiar, however, the book's inspirational focus on midlife individuals who have made successful transitions will make it popular among seniors and their families.

From
Goldman and Mahler view the later years as potentially "the richest and most fulfilling" for people, especially if they approach this "stage of life not as a crisis but as a guest." Hence, their focus is on "personal growth and transformation" for those middle-aged and beyond. Aging, then, is a positive experience, and in one sense the book is an implicit critique of the cult of youth we seem surrounded by. Individual chapters tackle such issues as changing your attitudes, taking risks in life, developing your creativity, and recognizing the importance of humor. Stories of late bloomers and their successes are presented throughout. The book also stresses the importance of honesty--beginning with a forthright appraisal of where you are now (emotionally, morally, and financially) and where you want to be. Informative and uplifting. Brian McCombie
