Growing Bolder: Defy the Cult of Youth, Live with Passion and Purpose

by marc middleton, Bob Morris (Editor), Ashley Paquette (Editor)

When it comes to aging, we're all victims of brainwashing--deceived by an ageist culture, misled by the media, lied to by Hollywood and Madison Avenue. It's time to fight back. If we change our beliefs about growing older, we can change the way we age. Marc Middleton shares how to do it...no matter how old you are. In this provocative new book by speaker, activist, consultant, media entrepreneur and television journalist Marc Middleton, you'll learn what the "Machine" doesn't want you to learn. The Machine is Middleton's term for the powerful forces - in healthcare, government, the media and the broader culture--that need you to feel old, worn, weak and worthless. And they're willing to spend billions to back this campaign of disinformation and despair. In "Growing Bolder" you'll learn how to fight back - in defiance of what the Machine wants. Middleton will show you how --Disconnect from the belief system that will destroy your future. --Overcome fear to create opportunities for continuous growth. --Transform retirement from the beginning of the end to the beginning of what's next. --Leverage the health-wealth connection to help secure your financial future. --Use muscle memory to reconnect with the passions of your youth. --Embrace risk to create meaningful experiences and moments of joy. --Prehabilitate your way to extreme recovery. --Live like a Rock Star of Aging.

"Growing Bolder" is more than a book, it's a defiant call to people of all ages to look at life through a whole new lens. After reading "Growing Bolder," you won't want to waste another minute putting off living with joy and purpose.

Marc Middleton, a popular, award-winning former broadcaster who left his well-respected career to search for the truth about aging, has delivered an informative, entertaining book that is chocked full of sound research and engaging anecdotes.

Middleton is the charismatic CEO and founder of Growing Bolder, a nationally-distributed television and radio program, podcast, publishing enterprise and motivational brand with 20 million impressions weekly on Facebook. With the zeal of an evangelist, Middleton is inspiring a worldwide following, especially among babyboomers who are redefining retirement and applauding his message of "Dreams have no expiration date."

The book is refreshingly frank and doesn't ignore the obvious changes that come with aging. However, there is plenty of proof throughout the book that growing older is filled with opportunity and much of what people dread is a product of Madison Avenue propaganda.

Middleton is onto something big and important, and this book delivers his message convincingly. You'll come away wondering why you took so long to see aging for what it really is -- a time to wake up every morning with excitement and expectation. A time for growing bolder.
