Summary:"Dr. Kerry Burnightknown to her many followers as "Dr. Kerry "is sparking a revolution to make older better. Fed up with the fear driven, anti-aging hysteria, hundreds of thousands of people turn to Dr. Kerry for her practical, effective and uplifting approach to navigating longevityour parents' and our own. In Joyspan, Dr. Kerry shares her popular philosophy and tools in a comprehensive resource that moves readers from fear to peaceful confidence. Dr. Kerrys insights, along with those of her inspiring 95 year-old mother Betty, are based upon a profound truth: the key to good longevity isnt the length of your life, its the quality of your life. Books that advance lifespan and “healthspan” dont address the whole picture. Dr. Kerry introduces readers to the critical concept of “joyspan” based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, choice, and purpose. Part manifesto, part how-to guide, Joyspan proves that internal strength is as critical as external fitness. Filled with both perspective-shifting strategies and troubleshooting for the specific challenges of agingincluding caregiving, dementia, unexpected diagnoses, isolation, uncoupling via death or divorce, financial concerns, and more this book is an essential resource for a generation looking for a better way to grow olderand to help our aging parents do the same."
