From the creator of the best-selling The Jewish Catalog a tour for all of us "of a certain age" through the resources and skills to navigate the years between maturity and old age. It brings humor, warmth, and more than 4,000 years of Jewish experience to the question of how to shape this new stage of life.

  • Gaining Wisdom: learning, personal growth, and self-discovery
  • Getting Along: dealing with aging parents, adult children, grandchildren, deepening intimacy, and friendship
  • Getting Better: taking care of your emotional self, facing the reality of our aging bodies, visiting someone who's sick
  • Getting Ready: organizing and planning for the inevitable
  • Giving Back: volunteering, mentoring, and getting involved
  • Giving Away: leaving a legacy, not a landfill

Features dozens of original black and white line art pieces by noted cartoonist Paul Palnik, and chapter contributions from more than a dozen experts in the field.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Richard Siegel created The Jewish Catalog, the best-selling resource that galvanized a generation of Jews energized by the American counterculture of the late '60s and early '70s. He had a long career in Jewish professional leadership and cultural innovation. He died in the summer of 2018, as this book was nearing completion.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

We came of age in the '60s and '70s, through civil rights, anti-war protests, and the rise of feminism. We've raised families and had careers. We've been around the world, figuratively if not literally. We've done a lot.

And we're getting older. So, we might as well get good at it.

Getting Good at Getting Older: A Jewish Catalog for a New Age is a tour for all of us "of a certain age" through the resources and skills we need to navigate the years between maturity and old age. Getting Good at Getting Older brings humor, warmth, and 4,000 years of Jewish experience to the question of how to shape this new stage of life.
