How to Age Without Getting Old : The Steps You Can Take Today to Stay Young for the Rest of Your Life (Hardcover)

How could I not review a book called How to Age Without Getting Old? I'm nearing my mid-50s, newly retired, just moved to the country where we've bought a large house and property, and I'm trying to find my place in this new world. I've found that I need to listen to those who've gone before me and learn from their experiences. And who better to listen to than Joyce Meyer? Her newest book, How to Age Without Getting Old, is another one of her easy-to-read books that's filled with incredible, Godly wisdom. Joyce uses her own experiences and health issues to help the reader see that there are, in fact, ways to age gracefully. First and foremost is to learn from others experiences. She explains that as she ages, she's learning to understand that changes in what she does and how she does it is necessary thing. It really is ok to ask for help, allow others to take over what she used to do, and to listen to her body and to take more frequent breaks. She's also more selective about the activities that she does, travels less than she used to, and has significantly decreased the number of conferences that she does every year. A lot of Joyce's advice is really common sense and starts with taking good care of our bodies. Things such as getting regular medical and dental care, exercise, drinking plenty of water, and eating foods that are good for our bodies. But we shouldn't forget to keep healthy relationships with friends and family, laughing, getting rest, and keeping our brains sharp. Of course, all of these changes are great and she explains that we need to learn how to discern Gods will for our life and to continue to grow our relationship with our Savior, who has the very best plans for His own. You could easily sit down and read this book cover-to-cover in a few hours, but I strongly suggest that you read it chapter by chapter and take some time to reflect on what you're taking in. Really work on incorporating Joyce's experience so that you can personalize the information for your own life. This is a good book to read regularly for a while, just to help with the transition into each phase of aging. I highly recommend How to Age Without Getting Old by Joyce Meyer and strongly suggest you get this book to help you to walk your way gently into each phase of aging. I received an advanced readers copy of How to Age Without Getting Old by Joyce Meyer from the publisher in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

As always, this was another great book from Joyce Meyer. As a person in my thirties you'd think that this book wouldn't apply to me, however, that would be greatly mistaken. Although many things in the book were applicable to people in retirement age, a lot of the advice would work for any one. There were so many helpful tips that meant something in this book. Joyce recommends to reduce stress and to learn to adapt to your limitations. Don t push yourself so far if you don't feel you can. Listen to your body and mind. Your normal will change and learn to accept who you are. She also recommends you to try to exercise and drink plenty of water. Try to stay healthy and feel good about yourself. Lastly, remember to spend time with God and friends that help you and support you. This book is full of advice to apply as you get older. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it for anyone entering a different phase of life. Lastly, I want to thank the publisher and the author for giving me the opportunity to receive this complimentary book. I was not obligated to post a positive or negative review.
