In Embracing Aging: Discovering Fulfillment through Coping with Lifes Changes, Dr. Ruth Garrett draws on her long and varied experiences to lead the reader through the hazards of aging. She believes that the reality of aging goes beyond the individual person to the family and to the community, and she has developed various programs over the years for universities and communities to address that reality. These programs offer a profound understanding of aging, longevity, and society. Garrett writes passionately about the pursuit of wellness in aging, and she does so with the same enthusiasm and depth of knowledge with which she lives. This mainly personal narrative offers to its readers an enlightenment that will serve to prepare them to reap the fullness of plenty in their harvest years. Embracing Aging is a meditation on aging that provokes all of us to deeper thinking about our future selves, and it is a must read for both older and younger adults interested in the topic.
