When I saw Martha Stewart on a morning news show talking about this new book, Living the Good Long Life, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from it. As with all of her books, I expected this one to contain good information regarding healthy eating, exercise, and other useful suggestions on making our lives better. I expected organizational ideas, decorating suggestions, and maybe some good recipes. I had no idea that she had compiled such a wealth of information regarding virtually every aspect of life for those of us approaching our "older" years. I am in my 50s, and I am grateful to be reading this "early", but this contains vital information for people in their 60s, 70s, and 80s as well.
Martha states several times that it's never too late to start a healthy living regimen...not just physically but also mentally. She has established the Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai Medical Center in honor of her mother, and its purpose is geriatric research and development. This book is filled with great information regarding all aspects of life as we age. I started reading and couldn't put it down.
In the foreword written by Dr. Audrey Chang, she states that "While nobody can expect to live forever, the goal is to live the time we have with the best health and physical/mental capacity possible." This is so true! But this book is about so much more than that. Martha compares growing old gracefully to the life of a bonsai tree...always changing...growing more interesting through the years. I like that thought.
The book is written in larger than usual print, which I really appreciated. The layout is easy to read. You can find the topic you're looking for by following the Table of Contents or Index.
