A New Way to Continue the Conversation

Reflections From the Aging Well Newsletter are Now Available in Book Form

For the past five years, the Aging Well Newsletter has been a place to explore not only the practical realities of aging but also the largely ignored emotional experience that often accompanies it. Many articles focused on adjustment, loss, agency, resilience, and our relationship with ourselves as life changes.

Over time, readers asked whether these reflections might someday be gathered into a book. I’m writing today to let everyone know they can and are.

You inspired me to write The Insider’s Guide to Aging Well: Longevity Through the Eyes of an 87-Year-Old. I’m deeply appreciative of your readership, reflections, and willingness to engage thoughtfully with the topics.

The Insider’s Guide to Aging Well brings together many of the ideas and themes we’ve discussed. It’s not separate from the newsletter, which is my primary focus, but an extension of it—a way to collect the articles in one place for those of you who may find that format more useful.
