Lighter as We Go: Virtues, Character Strengths, and Aging

by Mindy Greenstein, PhD and Jimmie Holland, MD - Nonfiction, Psychology, Self-Help

In LIGHTER AS WE GO, Mindy Greenstein and Jimmie Holland show us that, contrary to common wisdom, our sense of well-being actually increases with our age --- often even in the presence of illness or disability. For the first time, Greenstein and Holland --- on a joint venture between a 50-year-old and an 85-year-old --- explore positive psychology concepts of character strengths and virtues to unveil how and why, through the course of a lifetime, we learn who we are as we go.
