The Wisdom Years - Unleashing...

PhD Zvi Lanir

We are now experiencing one of the most significant revolutions in human life: the dramatic rise in life expectancy. This revolution does not imply, as most people usually think, that we've simply got more years of old age. Rather, it implies the formation of a new period in human life: the Age of Wisdom. This age is qualitatively different from the adulthood that precedes it and the old age that follows. People who are able to prepare themselves for this new age will be able to enjoy an active, wise and satisfying stage of life, which will enable them to delay their 'old age' to the very end of their life. 
  
The Wisdom Years provides a practical, thought-provoking and life-changing read for both people embarking on retirement as well as younger people who would like to mindfully prepare themselves in advance. Derived from Dr Lanir's lifetime of work experience in identifying mindsets that are no longer helpful or relevant to current reality, it reveals how we can reframe our thought processes and mindset so that we can live life based on our 'functional age' rather than our 'chronological age'. 
  
The result is a book that carries a unique and inspiring message: life in the wisdom years is to be enjoyed and planned for as a new and uplifting journey of personal evolution.
