America is becoming older. By the conclusion of this decade, one in every three persons will be fifty or older. Although Baby Boomers have made significant progress in addressing some of the negative preconceptions associated with aging, ageism remains widespread in society. According to Drs. Albert Ellis and Emmett Velten, these deeply established, detrimental attitudes may be corrected to benefit everyone. They think that with the correct attitudes, skills, and hard effort, anybody can create their own life rather than just following the scripts supplied by an ageist society. “Optimal Aging,” written in a funny and participatory way, should assist readers in recognizing and combating detrimental attitudes that hold people back, as well as developing more productive attitudes. From money to health, personal relationships to retirement planning, dating to coping with loss, the writers cover it all. The approaches and instruments used by Ellis and Velten are based on well-researched, practical forms of self-help and psychotherapy, namely rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). “Optimal Aging” seeks to assist people in the following ways: breaking free from negative stereotypes and prejudices about age; feeling happy and committed to life and living vitally; getting more of what they want and less of what they don’t want out of their longer lives; applying their knowledge and common sense to cope with the practical hassles of older age and capitalizing on its opportunities; cultivating attitudes that will help them plan and act in their own interest; resolving disappointments about pastimes
