Both motivating and prescriptive, The Hourglass Solution suggests a new way of thinking about choices in life and how mid-life can be a time of renewal and expanded choices rather than a time of restrictions and the status quo. Identifying ways to get life "unstuck," The Hourglass Solution guides the reader through the process of redefining choices for the second half of his or her life.

In der Mitte des Lebens kann einem schon mal die Puste ausgehen. Alles stresst gleichzeitig: Beruf, Kinder, Eltern und die ersten körperlichen Macken, die nicht mehr weggehen. Geht es gefühlt ab 40 nur noch bergab? Nein, sagen Eckart von Hirschhausen und Tobias Esch. Im Gegenteil. Die Zufriedenheit nimmt für die meisten Menschen in der zweiten Lebenshälfte zu! In einem inspirierenden Dialog gehen die beiden Ärzte auf die Suche nach dem Glück, das durch Erfahrung, Weisheit und Reife wächst. Sie finden persönliche Vorbilder, diskutieren über wissenschaftliche Forschung und knüpfen an eigenen Erfahrungen an.

Erst im Alter sind wir richtig jung! Wenn Jugend bedeutet, unbeschwert auf alles zuzugehen, mutig und neugierig zu sein, dann stellt sich die Frage: Wann haben wir das wirklich gelebt? Mit 20, als wir hin- und hergerissen waren, wo die Reise hingeht? Mit 30, als Stress und schlaflose Nächte uns erschöpften? Mit 40 oder 50, als Gewohnheiten vermeintliche Sicherheit vermittelten? Tatsache ist: Die Zeit von 60 bis 90 Jahren ist genauso lang wie die von 30 bis 60 - JETZT ist die Zeit, in der wir jung sein können.

Deborah Cohan shares her story of caring for her father, a man who was simultaneously loud, gentle, loving, and cruel and whose brilliant career as an advertising executive included creating slogans like "Hey, how 'bout a nice Hawaiian punch?"

It was a rite of passage for you to have the talk with your kids about the beginning of life (as in the birds and the bees). As you get older, you need to have the other talk - about the later years of life. And you need to have it now, not after a crisis hits. The Other Talk helps you take control of your life so when the time comes, your kids can make decisions based on what you want. This groundbreaking guide provides the practical advice and inspiration you need to have open, honest discussions about subjects that can be difficult to talk about.

We aspire to live in a country where old men are celebrated as vital elders but not demeaned if they become ill and dependent. We aspire to maintain health as well as maintain dignity and fulfillment in frailty. Old Man Country helps listeners see and imagine these possibilities for themselves. The audiobook follows the journey of a writer in search of wisdom, as he encounters 12 distinguished American men over 80 - including Paul Volcker, the former head of the Federal Reserve, and Denton Cooley, the world's most famous heart surgeon.

Eigentlich hatte Didier Eribon sich vorgenommen, ab jetzt regelmäßig nach Fismes zu fahren. Doch seine Mutter stirbt wenige Wochen nach ihrem Umzug in ein Pflegeheim in dem kleinen Ort in der Champagne. Wie in Rückkehr nach Reims wird dieser Einschnitt zum Ausgangspunkt für eine Reise in die Vergangenheit. Eribon rekonstruiert die von Knappheit und Zwängen bestimmte Biografie einer Frau, die an einen brutalen Ehemann gekettet blieb und sich sogar in ihren Träumen bescheiden musste. "Meine Mutter", hält er fest, "war ihr ganzes Leben lang unglücklich."

Écrit et lu par Nathalie Firminy, Ma vie de soignante en EHPAD vous plonge au cœur d’un quotidien où chaque vie compte. À travers des instants intimes, touchants et parfois bouleversants, ce témoignage révèle l’humanité de ceux que l’on voit trop peu : résidents, familles, soignants. Une immersion sincère qui éclaire la réalité du grand âge et met en lumière la peur qu’a notre société de vieillir, parfois plus forte encore que la peur de mourir.

Die Periode ist politisch – ihr Ausbleiben aber auch. Als Miriam Stein von Hitzewallungen, Schlafstörungen und weiteren unangenehmen Vorboten der Menopause überrascht wird, erkundet sie die ihr von der patriarchalen Gesellschaft zugedachte Stellung neu. Leicht gereizt stellt sie fest: Die sogenannten Wechseljahre sind das letzte Tabu der Frauengesundheit. Bis zum heutigen Tag bestimmen Mythen und Fehlinformationen den Diskurs: Das Klimakterium erscheint als peinliche Hormonmangel-Krankheit. Der unfruchtbar – und somit unattraktiv – gewordenen Frau wird geraten, sich neu zu erfinden.

You scream, but no one hears you. The coffin swallows every sound. The soil presses down, heavy and final. Your chest burns, your arms cannot rise, your legs cannot move. Death is not a quiet sleep — it is a prison without escape. For centuries, people have feared one fate above all others: being buried alive. From ancient myths and medieval plagues to safety coffins, graveyard bells, and real-life cases of the “dead” awakening beneath the earth, this book uncovers the chilling history of premature burial. Step into the shadows of folklore, superstition, and science.

In un mondo dove l'uomo crede di avere in mano il suo destino, corriamo un grande rischio: non ammettere che il filo rosso dell'esistenza si possa indebolire e spezzare e non comprendere gli aspetti positivi di ogni trasformazione a partire dalla bellezza di invecchiare. Vittorino Andreoli ci racconta la vecchiaia come capitolo originale dell'esistenza e non come un'età "malata". Chi ha "danzato a lungo col tempo" ha maggiore capacità di sperimentare la gioia e considerare il piacere.
