Review
Later Life Abundant
"In Creative Aging: Rethinking Retirement and Non-Retirement in a Changing World ," Marjory Zoet Bankson examines the spiritual dimensions of vocation in later life and how to discern and claim new, generative ways to use gifts and experiences. Skylight Paths--Julie Polter"Sojourners Faith, Politics, Culture" (06/01/2010)
Workshop leader and president of Faith@Work, Bankson explores the inner work of making one's later years creative and meaningful. She has interviewed hundreds of people and discovered that there are seven phases of transition in aging: Release, Resistance, Reclaiming, Revelation, Crossing Point, Risk and Relating. She explores these in depth and points out that the key concerns of the retirement-aged person are self-identity and the need to give back and be useful. She takes the realities of failing health and finances into account but provides the wider perspective on finding new meaning. Real-life stories and probing questions help readers gain insights into the last decades of life.--Deborah Bigelow"Library Journal" (05/15/2010)
Later Life Abundant
In" Creative Aging: Rethinking Retirement and Non-Retirement in a Changing World," Marjory Zoet Bankson examines the spiritual dimensions of vocation in later life and how to discern and claim new, generative ways to use gifts and experiences. Skylight Paths--Julie Polter"Sojourners Faith, Politics, Culture" (06/01/2010)
If somebody asked me if I wanted to reinvent myself, I think I'd reply tongue-in-cheek that there are parts of me that could use a tune-up, but overall, no. But after reading Marjory Zoet Bankson's new book, Creative Aging: Rethinking Retirement and Non-Retirement in a Changing World (SkyLight Paths Publishing, $16.99), I m reconsidering my answer. Creative Aging was written for those of us who are thinking about what it means to grow older and retire ... and what comes next. The book is about life transitions experiencing endings before we can make new beginnings, and then experiencing a period of trying things out before we take on our newly reinvented lives.
This kind of planning and thinking can be crucial, especially for those of us who have felt ourselves defi ned by career. If we re no longer an (accountant/factory worker/teacher), then what are we? What will we do with the rest of our years? Will they be meaningful?
Creative Aging walks us through the steps of getting there: letting go of vocational identity, feeling stuck and resistant to change, drawing energy from the past, forming a new vision for the future, moving toward it, taking risks and finding a new purpose. Full of stories of those who have already walked this path, Creative Aging doesn t so much take us by the hand as it opens doors to thinking about what is right for each of us. The stories are eye-openers as they tell what we can expect and how to spot opportunities for making changes. As the book says, "At this stage of life, we don t have to wait for someone else to approve." If you re sensing even the slightest questions about What s next? take a look at Creative Aging.--Matilda Charles"SENIOR NEWS LINE" (04/01/2010)"
"Precious and insightful will teach you how to age consciously as well as respect your limitations and joyfully reclaim your purpose and call. A treasure. Don't grow old without it." Rev. Holly W. Whitcomb, author, Seven Spiritual Gifts of Waiting
"Aimed at but by no means limited to the boomer generation, hits the right note aging is not just about giving back, but about giving forward offering ourselves for some larger purpose rather than simply protecting what we have." Fr. Tom Ryan, author, Soul Fire: Accessing Your Creativity
"A great gift to everyone in the field of aging. With gentle, deep encouragement ... [it] walks readers through what has been lost, mourned, reclaimed, and points toward finding the creative call in the later years . Strongly recommended for everyone in the third stage as well as professional and interested laypersons." Phoebe Girard, hospice worker; cofounder, Conscious Aging Network of New Mexico; former editorial board member, ASA Forum on Religion, Spirituality and Aging
A must-read for anyone who wants more out of their later years than the traditional retirement experience . A unique contribution to the field of literature on aging and retirement. Molly Srode, author, Creating a Spiriting Retirement and Keeping Spiritual Balance as We Grow Older
Doesn't so much take us by the hand as it opens doors to thinking about what is right for each of us. Matilda Charles, Senior News Line
A deep and stirring reminder that the later years of our lives can be creative, rich and even more fulfilling than those that went before. Deborah Sokolove, artist and director, Henry Luce III Center for the Arts and Religion; associate professor of art and worship, Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, D.C.
[A] refreshing blend of deep wisdom, relational authenticity and practical tools a book that will make a difference. My list of the people I want to give this book to is growing. Doug Wysockey-Johnson, executive director, Lumunos (formerly Faith At Work)
A road map of wisdom for the crossroads of life. [W]eaves insight and story [to] illuminate the phases of transition that we all will face in the future . Encourages us to move the conversation about such change from our head to our hearts. Terri Lynn Simpson, contemplative programs consultant, Center for Prayer and Pilgrimage, Washington National Cathedral
Assures, encourages, challenges readers to embrace the questions, fears and most significantly the gifts of aging. The shared stories of elders comfort the reader who is walking the labyrinth of aging and seeks a spiritual path of dignity, grace, faith and love. Jean M. Richardson, executive director, Kirkridge Retreat Center
Powerful and compelling deserves to be read and practiced by anyone, regardless of their age, who wants to reconnect with their spirit and live a life worth having. John J. Scherer, author, Five Questions That Change Everything; founder, The Scherer Leadership Center"
Drawing on stories of real-life people, this practical, useful book develops the spiritual dimensions of aging in a way that makes what the author calls "the generative years" count. Bankson develops her book around seven themes. She begins with "Release": letting go of vocational identity; and continues with "Resistance": resisting change; "Reclaiming": drawing energy from the past; "Revelation": forming a new vision for the future; "Crossing Point": moving from stagnation to generatively; "Risk": stepping out with new hope; and "Relating": creating or finding new structures for a new kind of work. The book is a valuable tool for those beginning to think of retirement, forced into retirement by the present economy, as the situation forces the reader to look at how s(he) looks at her(himself) as a person or as a worker. Each chapter is followed by a reflection on the spiritual dimension and questions to ponder related to the topic. The epilogue, "Living Wholeheartedly," focuses on the attitude necessary to age creatively, being grateful for the gift of this extra time to receive the grace that surrounds us every day. In simple language the author presents considerations that will give the reader a choice between growing old and creative aging as s(he) reworks her/his identity associated with a career, making peace with what has or has not been accomplished to discovering who s(he) is now and enjoying the freedom. She calls readers to remember that we are human beings not human doings. This valuable book is strongly recommended for anyone facing the reality of retirement./p>--Ann Lynch "Catholic Library World ""

Terms of sale
General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The object of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us at AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the offer page at AbeBooks or ZVAB constitutes the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". Via the corresponding button in the navigation bar you can call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the option of checking all information again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the purchase.
By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, you declare the acceptance of the offer in a legally binding manner, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have stored with us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that spam filters do not prevent it.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights exist.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the item, deviating from the statutory regulation. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:
- culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the freight forwarder of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not withdraw the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).
(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the existing business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer, but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
