Book Description

69 recommendations for a more healthful, enjoyable and meaningful existence at every stage of life

If you plan to age, prepare yourself—it’s later than you think. The challenge of aging well should be taken seriously, but not grimly! Whatever your age, it’s never too soon, or too late, to learn and apply the fine art of aging well, really well. Discover what aspects of aging can’t be changed and improve the rest that can. Mold your own realities with REAL wellness, Ardell-style.

The 69 tips—one for each year of the author’s life—are thought-provoking, challenging, eye-opening, manageable and fun to read. And all provide practical guidance for intelligently designing your own life-style evolution.

Not all tips will appeal to everyone but nearly everyone will find all the tips of interest. If just one leads to a mid-course change of direction in life—and several likely will—this book will be a great value.

Reviews

Aging Beyond Belief: 69 Tips for REAL Wellness is author Don Ardell's call to all of us, at any age, to look life in the eye, grin and really live it! We've all seen thousands of books that tell us to be well by doing this and doing that. Eat this, but not that. Exercise this way, not that way. What Don gets at is more the "how to be" not just the "what to do". With that kind of advice a person can live their own life, but do it in ways that will truly enhance their health and wellness.

What will keep this book within reach is not only the easy "pick it up and put it down" format of 69 tips, but the absolutely irrepressible zeal that Don has for living that shows through. A true "founding father" of the modern day wellness movement, Dr. Ardell has been at the forefront of helping us all to realize that lifestyle is the biggest determinant of our health. Don's approach to REAL Wellness, is just that - real, and, fortunately for us, it's
fun too.
