Overview

Aging happens to everyone who's lucky enough to keep living, but aging magnificently is a choice-and this book shows you how.In ""The New Old,"" leadership coach Erika Andersen shares a liberating truth: you have the power to craft an extraordinary third act. Drawing from her journey of creating a vibrant life between Spain and America, Andersen offers not just hope but a doable roadmap for your best years.""When I wake up in the morning,"" says 101-year-old yoga master Tao Porchon Lynch, ""I know that it's going to be the best day of my life. I never think about what I can't do."" This mindset isn't just inspiring-research shows it can add over seven years to your life.With candor and compassion, Andersen guides you through three transformative principles: Be the Boss of Your Life: Create a compelling vision for your future and build a community to help you achieve it. Learn to lead your healthcare providers, service people, and family members rather than letting them decide your path.Master Your Mindset: Transform how you talk to yourself about aging. Discover techniques for mindfulness and gratitude that research shows can dramatically improve both quality and length of life.Get Good at Change: Learn to thrive in the uncertain parts of life's transitions with grace, without resentment, and continuing to explore new possibilities-because as Andersen writes, ""our ability to learn and grow as older people is strictly a use-it-or-lose-it proposition.""Through intimate stories of her adventures (like mastering Spanish in her 70s!) and conversations with seniors who are thriving, Andersen reveals what becomes possible when you approach aging with intention rather than resignation.""The New Old"" speaks directly to your deepest hopes: that your later years can be filled with purpose, connection, discovery, and joy. It's not just about growing older-it's about finding out that at sixty, seventy, and beyond, you are still a work in progress.
