Thomas Moore is the renowned author of Care of the Soul, the classic #1 New York Times bestseller.

In Ageless Soul, Moore offers to listeners a fresh, optimistic, and rewarding path toward aging, one that need not be feared, but rather embraced and cherished. In Moore’s view, aging is the process by which one becomes a more distinctive, complex, fulfilled, loving, and connected person.

Using examples from his practice as a psychotherapist and teacher who lectures widely on the soul of medicine and spirituality, Moore argues for a new vision of aging: as a dramatic series of initiations, rather than a diminishing experience, one that each of us has the tools—experience, maturity, fulfillment—to live out. Subjects include:

*Why melancholy is a natural part of aging, and how to accept it, rather than confuse it with depression
*The vital role of the elder and mentor in the lives of younger people
*The many paths of spiritual growth and learning that open later in life
*Sex and sensuality
*Building new communities and leaving a legacy

Ageless Soul will teach listeners how to embrace the richness of experience and how to take life on, accept invitations to new vitality, and feel fulfilled as they get older.

Is it because I'm old myself that I already knew everything Moore shares in this book? I don't know, but I was deeply disappointed. I can sum up the entire book in one sentence: Aging is inevitable and it will cause you to confront physical debilitation, illness, loss of work, and death. I, sadly, t......more

Goodreads review by Roxanne on August 09, 2017

I won this from Goodreads. This is an excellent book about aging which I am doing and not doing very well. I remember when I looking forward to turning 21. Then all of a sudden I was 30 and then 40 and then 50 I was still going strong and not worrying a whole lot about age. At age 56 I fell and got......more

Breathtaking and powerful, this book about aging, about growing your mind, gets to the heart of life and living it fully: an exploration of the invisible and the mysterious, expanding intellectual and emotional states of mind and perceptions. Moore exhibits how spirituality and the soul are not just......more

I think I own every book Thomas Moore has written. His series on the soul is wonderful and deepens your level of thinking about who you are as a human being. Getting older has its challenges but can be a wonderful time in your life according to Moore and I'll be thinking more about this reading as t......more
