The Well-Being Bucket List: 29 Mindful Choices for Older Adults - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

With The Well-Being Bucket List, you don't have to travel, spend money, or risk your safety. This bucket-list is one of mindful choices for improved well-being, encompassing body, mind, and spirit. Each is available to everyone and is immediately accessible. If you embrace even ONE of these choices, your life can be better and happier. Once made, these choices are of the enduring kind—ones that can change your life forever.

Each of the choices is explored through a conversation between good friends and veteran authors Steve Chandler and Will Keiper. Each chapter concludes with a suggestion that could help you thrive as an older adult (or just someone wanting to build a better life). Here is one example. In Conversation Three, Steve and Will discuss some of the central myths of aging and how to reframe them. They also explore optimism and "learned helplessness," and offer their insights into choosing ownership or victimhood as your go-to starting position. The conversation concludes with this suggestion for a Mindful Choice: "I choose optimism and ownership as my pragmatic, enabling, and repeatable system of thought for living into my future." The book includes 29 of these kinds of explorations and Mindful Choices.

If you are curious about continuing to make mindful choices for your best well-being, or are feeling alone or left behind—you are invited, encouraged, and challenged to consider this thoughtfully compiled "bucket list." The To-Do's on this list are free (and freeing), and travel is completely optional. They are for anyone transiting the bucket list years—the last third or quarter of life—though they are open and applicable to people of all ages seeking a higher level of mindfulness and well-being.

As we get older, it can get easier to shrink our world. This book is the antidote, giving us permission to pay less attention to numerical age and focus more on living in a life-affirming way. After reading this book, you will come away with what you need to successfully pursue a higher state of well-being, no matter what age you seem to be. The authors successfully prove that rather than a time of decline, decay, and a move to the sidelines—our senior years are a prime opportunity to make new choices for creating the optimal "you" of your entire lifetime.

. . ."'We're all going to die and if we're lucky, get old first,' is not a common starting point for a self-help book, but in the hands of Steve Chandler and Will Keiper, it leads to a whole new way of thinking about bucket lists and a whole heck of a lot of new and exciting possibilities for the rest of what's left of our lives." #michaelneill Author of The Inside-Out Revolution: The Only Thing You Need to Know to Change Your Life Forever
