AGING WITH WISDOM: Reflections, Stories and Teachings with Olivia Ames Hoblitzelle

Hoblitzelle offers loving guidance for embracing later life. Drawing from various wisdom traditions and cultures that revere elders, as well as her own life and numerous examples of lives well-lived, AGING WITH WISDOM has practical pointers and tender stories for how to explore the positive opportunities of later life and how to cultivate an inner life resilient enough to cope with the challenges and losses. While acknowledging the unsettling realities of later life, she highlights that this phase of life—which she calls “the most heroic”—has rich opportunities for reflection, growth, resolution and spiritual awakening and offers many joys and blessings.

In the final section of the book, she shares the profiles of six “Wayshowers,” elders she admires for their approach to aging with grace. An empowering, comforting and uplifting guide, AGING WITH WISDOM will provide fresh perspectives on aging and dying which could transform their later years.
