“We all need models for how to live from retirement to past 80–with joy,” writes George Vaillant, M.D., director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development. This groundbreaking book pulls together data from three separate longevity studies that, beginning in their teens, followed 824 individuals for more than 50 years. The subjects were male Harvard graduates; inner-city, disadvantaged males; and intellectually gifted women.
“Here you have these wonderful files, and you seem little interested in how we cope with increasing age … our adaptability, our zest for life,” one of these subjects wrote to Vaillant, a researcher, psychiatrist, and Harvard Medical School professor, about how he was using this information. Vaillant took this advice to heart. In Aging Well, he presents personal narratives about people from these studies whom he interviewed personally in their 70s and 80s. He describes their history, relationships, hardships, philosophies, and sources of joy. We learn their perspectives and what makes them want to get up in the morning.

I think it’s a wonderfully well written book for boomers looking after old parents and also for anyone looking forward to living a very long life!

Hi Fran
Sorry to contact you this way but your contact link wasn’t working. I found your site through the bavotasan support fourm. I have been trying for hours to get my blog theme to look something like what you have achieved. I am using option 3 and I would like more posts to appear on the front page. 1 feature, 2 articles, 3 articles then a second maybe even 4th row of 3.
I notice you have more than the 1 x 2 x 2 articles and you have managed to include a further 2 rows of two articles, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Richard
Hi Richard,
Thanks for alerting me to the disabled Contact page!
I’m using Option 2 with 11 posts and I changed the size of the excerpts to 55 words for all rows.
I like what you’re doing with your site … for instance taking out the bar that separated the header from the main body … how did you do that?
I also like your list of topics in the sidebar … did you use the ‘Categories’ function to set up your topics?
I just recently ran into this http://www.craigfifield.com/all-in-one-seo.htm with advice on setting up the All-in-one Seo plugin (on video) that included a way to have your
post title show up first in search results instead of the title of your blog …
Good luck with your blog,
Fran
