A year-long journey by the renowned psychiatrist and his writer wife after her terminal diagnosis, as they reflect on how to love and live without regret.Internationally acclaimed psychiatrist and author Irvin Yalom devoted his career to counseling those suffering from anxiety and grief. But never had he faced the need to counsel himself until his wife, esteemed feminist author Marilyn Yalom, was diagnosed with cancer. In A Matter of Death and Life, Marilyn and Irv share how they took on profound new struggles: Marilyn to die a good death, Irv to live on without her.In alternating accounts of their last months together and Irv's first months alone, they offer us a rare window into facing mortality and coping with the loss of one's beloved. The Yaloms had numerous blessings-a loving family, a Palo Alto home under a magnificent valley oak, a large circle of friends, avid readers around the world, and a long, fulfilling marriage-but they faced death as we all do. With the wisdom of those who have thought deeply, and the familiar warmth of teenage sweethearts who've grown up together, they investigate universal questions of intimacy, love, and grief.Informed by two lifetimes of experience, A Matter of Death and Life is an openhearted offering to anyone seeking support, solace, and a meaningful life.

As I enter my 50th year of life, or my second half, I have updated my "Man of a Certain Age: " series with this third installment that covers my 49th year of bottoming out, recovery beginnings, and the people and places that have really helped motivate and invigorate me to do better. To be better. To lead myself better down life's path, My Camino, and my life with My Love, four wonderful grown and growing kids and all that life throws at this Man of a Certain Age. My tribe is mostly ignored or forgotten, if we aren't in places of power and financial influence. This is my story of how I cope with that fact and how I must live a much better life in my second half to enjoy all of the great people, places, and experiences that my life has offered and continues to offer me every day, week, month, and year of my blessed life. I am just one real George Bailey and I do have "A Wonderful Life" with many angels like Clarence reminding me of just that. My aging demographic may just be forgotten by many, which is primarily why ours is the only shrinking American population, by our own hands through personal behaviors/addictions, in America's modern era (see the research @ http: //www.pnas.org/content/112/49/15078 and in the NYTimes @ https: //www.nytimes.com/2015/11/03/health/death-rates-rising-for-middle-aged-white-americans-study-finds.html ) That is one of the many reasons to write such a book for my family, my friends, my acquaintances, and, also, for the millions of guys out there that struggle daily with their issues, demons, and lack of interest in them and their daily challenges. My first two books were written in a sloppy manner, as only a heavy drinker can achieve. But, this one was written while sober, even with vino tinto at the ready, and with a much-improved perspective, story of recovery beginnings, and my Camino experience this recovery summer that only helped my attitude, outlook, value, and self-worth. Take this for what it is worth, this honest story of my 49th year of life. My Camino. My real Camino de Santiago from Burgos to Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain, August 2017. One lovely and delicious trail of people, places, food, faith, and fellowship. Enjoy and I will see how year 50 progresses, as I plan volume 4, "Man of a Certain Age: ", over the next few years and see where this second half of life takes us all across this country and, most of all, across the globe to older and finer cultures, people, and lifestyles. We will get there as a family and a tribe...together. Ultreia!!!!

International Bestselling author Dawn Bates teams up with Clarissa Kristjansson, the world's leading voice of the Thriving Thru' Menopause podcast to bring you an anthology like no other.The Potent Power of Menopause is an open and honest, frank and insightful anthology by 10 women and 1 man from various countries, cultures and faiths around the world - and has the addition of humour which the world has come to enjoy and expect from the books published by Dawn Publishing on the subjects that matter.Within the pages of this book, you will find real-life stories, expert advice and information, detailing the transformational time in a woman's life that is so misunderstood, wrapped in a silence filled with myths passed down through the generations, whilst also being dismissed and ridiculed.The mere mention of the word menopause has caused discomfort, and its name has been whispered in fear of the shame associated with infertility and ageing... That is until now."There are so many books on the market which just didn't appeal to me - not just because many of them are dry and sterile, but because they were either far too feminist or just more of the same old same old," says Bates, the lead author and publisher on this anthology. "I wanted straight forward honest information, a holistic view and have a laugh whilst understanding this transformational time in my life - not be bored out of my mind."Kristjansson says, "this book reframes our experience of this life transition and offers powerful insights into menopause as a gateway into a new and meaningful phase of women's lives."Choosing to dedicate this book to the women of the world, past, present and future, Bates and Kristjansson make their points clear that without the ancient wisdom, and the women of today sharing their stories, the women of tomorrow will end up with more of the regurgitated content aimed more at promoting the author and their business, rather than impacting humanity.The aim of this book is to encourage all the women who read it to love their body, own their sovereignty and harness their feminine power for the greatness of self, and humanity, whilst also helping men understand menopause rather than feel as though they are living, loving and working with a ticking time bomb.Bates had been developing this idea for 2 years before approaching Kristjansson, an internationally recognized holistic menopause coach who knows that perimenopause can be challenging but also the natural path to transformation and the emergence of a wiser woman.The pair make the perfect team, and with them both at the helm driving this project forward, they are set to transform the way in which menopause is seen and understood the world over.Ann Moir-Bussy, one of Australia's leading voices for women in both the indigenous community and mainstream society, joins the team along with English energy healer and leadership coach, Su Winsbury, making this the most holistic book on the subject of menopause on the market.With menopause experts such as Kate Usher, author of Your Second Phase, a corporate coach and change strategist who specialises in Menopause, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, this book brings a change in the global narrative in the business world too.Joining these ladies includes Asian American Powerlifter Laarni Mulvey, transformational stylist to the stars and American politicians Liana Chaouli, is Kate's husband Neil Usher who shares his experience putting the men into menopause.Lifestyle Reboot guide Fiona Whitfield (England), Yoga Therapist Ullis Karlsson (Sweden) and Women's Advocate Maggie Inbamuthia (India) also bring a wealth of knowledge from the perspectives of nutrition, ayurvedic healing and spirituality into this powerful book.A timeless book to journey into the future of feminine transformation.

The sustained expansion of the life span and the attendant demographic changes in the West have fuelled the production of cultural texts that explore alternative representations of aging and old age. The contributors to this volume show how artists in science-fiction, fantasy and the avant-garde develop visions of late life transformation, improvisation and adaptation to new circumstances. The studies particularly focus on perspectives on aging that challenge the predominant narratives of decline as well as fantasies of eternal youth, as defined by neoliberal notions of health, able-bodiedness, agency, self-improvement, progress, plasticity and productivity.

Through stories and visual vignettes, it presents a range of stakeholders involved in the design, construction, management and habitation of third-age housing in the UK.

"Women are having children later in life, out of choice and also aided by improved reproductive technologies. Women are also more educated than at any other time in history, with the last generation seeing women's professional careers not as unusual, but as the norm for university educated women. This generation of tertiary educated mothers has grown up with a clear articulation of feminism, although shifts in the intra-household gendered division of labour have been more limited than hoped for. These mothers represent a generational shift in modern times and constitute a significant new demographic that cannot be ignored. For high achieving university educated women with vocational positions of authority and respect, the emotional and psychological shift entailed in dealing with the myriad demands of a child and often mundane aspects of motherhood can be overwhelming. These women are used to managing complex and highly technical issues in the workplace, yet none of these skills prepare them for motherhood which requires patience, a need to let go of control and for some a staggering conflict of personal identities and roles. Coming to terms with this new identity requires a rethinking of who they are as an individual in a society which offers few role models who have come forward being honest on the personal side of their struggle. The media does not often reflect their experience or reality as a mother, and in many cases, they have demonized them for "wanting it all" and being selfish. Society does not recognize the stresses and anxiety faced by this high achieving demographic of women. A great deal of productivity is lost from the workforce from the skills and expertise of these high women who are grappling with unfair burdens, discrimination and societal judgments, and most of all their internal identity crises. This is a major issue and needs to be considered by policy makers, academics, employers and mother's themselves who have little space to analyze their context and share their experience in a feminist economic and personal political framework. This book is a collection of auto-ethnography narratives that provide personal stories and struggles from professional, tertiary educated women who are termed "late mothers." The narratives illustrate their on-the-ground lived experiences and the impact motherhood has on them and those around them, as well as within the workplace and wider society. The mothers in this book include Indigenous women, LGBTIQA+, women with disabilities and those mothering children with disabilities, (im)migrant and expatriate women."--
