The Psychology Of Growing Old
1.The Psychology of Growing Old by Sehinde Arogbofa: Aptly titled: The Philosophy of Growing Old-A Personal Experience for both Young and Old, the book, published by John Archers (Publishers) Limited, Ibadan, richly recommends itself as a necessary companion for all ages, beautifully taking off in Chapters 1 and 2 with the definition of old age and its onset.
The author, in subsequent chapters, devotes copious pages to a comprehensive examination of the process of growing old, as well as the fears and myths that drive most people, including young people, to scary limits in their dread of ageing.
As the author explicitly discusses in Chapters 7 and 8, the fears include sliding from vibrancy to redundancy, demure disposition to most issues of life, fear of failing health (pages 90-103), cognitive decline, dwindling finance and associated problems (pages 81-89), shrinking population of friends and acquaintances, goals, responsibilities, and societal impacts often associated with ageing.
2.Graceful Ageing by Barr. Ilemobayo Ehinmosan: Here is a positively distinct addition. It is current of fresh air on the litany books that have populated the space of knowledge and the litery recently. Having gone through the reviews, i concur the book is deep in the roots of health, hygiene, use of roots , foods, diets, methods of living , knowledge, medicine and wholesomeness. it is a completely new dimention . The language is bright , choosy, high and brilliant .The book is not only loaded but also down to earth.
