Be open to rich renewal through youthful aging

Listen to last week's interview on Sunday Journal, as Hal Clark talks with Thomas Moore about his new book Ageless Soul. Moore describes combining youthfulness with age; how illness wakes us up; what loneliness may want; how to be open to change. Presented by 98.5 WYLD FM in New Orleans, this radio segment from 15 April 2018 is approximately 13 minutes.

Timely reflection helps with shifts to age soulfully

Jane Genova introduces Ageless Soul - We Baby Boomers Needed This Book 15 Years Ago" on her blog, Over 50: Helping Baby Boomers to continue to earn income, as long as they want:

"Unfortunately for so many of us Baby Boomers, psychotherapist Thomas Moore didn't publish "Ageless Soul" until October 2017. That left us on our own to experience what Moore calls the 'first taste of aging.'"

She writes, "In Ageless Soul, this former monk gives us permission to embrace getting older. Once we do that we won't have to age. We need that permission because all the messages from the world scream about the need to fight the process of getting older."

Genova shares, "Each sentence of Moore's book provides material for reflection. He articulates exactly the paradigm shift which has been going on within me."
