Unaging
Aging is a subject of concern to everyone, but is widely misunderstood. If we view it as inevitable, we miss the fact that not everyone is able to grow to an old age. Realization of this reality helps us to understand that aging presents a wonderful opportunity - an opportunity to make choices about how we live which can enhance the aging process and offer a chance to live to our potential. This book clearly presents the four, multiple reserve, factors (cognitive, physical, psychological and social) which impact our ability to have healthy responses to the stresses of aging. By giving the biological basis for the advice given, you will learn the steps to take in your activities, diet and mental outlook to grasp the opportunity that aging offers. Everyone must know that what we do makes a difference.

The author’s premise is that the goals of aging well are to survive, avoid disease and maintain health by maintaining cognitive, physical, psychological and social reserves. The book generally lacked focus. It wanted to be a history of neurology, overview of recent research and best practice, and a self help book as well as case examples all in one. The physiology half was a good overview but I imagine more than most people want to know. The application second half was more superficial although I imagine most people want more of this information.
