Creative Aging: Discovering the Unexpected Joys of Later Life Through Personality Type

Why are some people full of vitality and passion for life, while others are bound by fear and regret? Applying Jung's model of personality type and the tools of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator® assessment, psychologist and counselor Nancy Millner examines the impact personality differences have on our responses to aging. Millner offers as illustration the personal stories of more than 50 people who have passed through midlife and are now aging creatively in their 60s and 70s. All have faced the limitations of their later years with optimism that has led to new energy and purpose in their work, their relationships and their spiritual growth.
