Synopsis
ADD LIFE TO YOUR YEARS includes a foreword by Dr. Alfred H. Lawton. Dr. Frank S. Caprio, who studied psychology under Wilhelm Stekel, one of Freud's original collaborators, recalls his teacher telling him that age was a relative factor, that a man of thirty might feel like a man of sixty and that men of the calendar age of sixty not uncommonly feel as though they are still in their thirties. And that is the theme of Dr. Caprio's new book-simply that those who are growing older can only achieve graceful aging if they maintain their own self-respect, sense of humor, zest for living, and active busy lives. Charles F. Kettering once said, "We should all be concerned about the future because we will all hove to spend the rest of our lives there." Dr. Caprio hos projected a program which will make the process of maturing a walk into a pleasant and reflective future rather than merely "getting old." He emphasizes the importance of physical fitness, and offers many practical suggestions about diet, exercise, and good sleeping habits. He also hos understanding chapters on maintaining the sex-love relationship in marriage ("Don't be a sexual dropout," he advises) and on a widow's life without a mate. Dr. Caprio's suggestions can improve your personality, develop better relationships with the people and world around you and, indeed, give you a new lease on life. This is a book which looks at retirement and senior citizenship not as a period of bitterness and self-confinement but as a new and rewarding life in which there is abundant time for leisure activities and reflection. Leading gerontologists hove acclaimed this book. One of them, Fred Faasen, past president of the American Association of Retired Persons, said, "l think this book should be read by all prospective retirees. It would open their eyes to the pitfalls into which others have fallen."
