{"product_id":"lighter-as-we-go","title":"Lighter as We Go","description":"The fears of aging have been one long cascading domino effect through the years: twenty year-olds dread thirty; forty year-olds fear fifty; sixty fears seventy, and so it goes. And there is something to worry about, though it isn't what you'd expect: research shows that having a bad attitude toward aging when we're young is associated with poorer health when we're older. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese worries tend to peak in midlife; but in \u003cem\u003eLighter as We Go\u003c\/em\u003e, Mindy Greenstein and Jimmie Holland show us that, contrary to common wisdom, our sense of well-being actually increases with our age--often even in the presence of illness or disability. For the first time, Greenstein and Holland--on a joint venture between an 85 year-old and a fifty year-old--explore positive psychology concepts of character strengths and virtues to unveil how and why, through the course of a lifetime, we learn who we are as we go. Drawing from the authors' own personal, intergenerational friendship, as well as a broad array of research from many different areas--including social psychology, anthropology, neuroscience, humanities, psychiatry, and gerontology--\u003cem\u003eLighter as We Go \u003c\/em\u003eintroduces compassion, justice, community, and culture to help calm our cascading fears of aging.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67654687785327,"sku":"9780190693794","price":114.42,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0190693797.jpg?v=1790984675","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/lighter-as-we-go","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
