Moving into your golden years is no longer something that should be dreaded. Advancements in healthcare means that people are living longer and are mobile longer, as well. The new book,
70 Things to Do When You Turn 70, dispels the myth that life ends at 70.
This book, edited by Ronnie Sellers, continues the series of previous titles, including
50 Things to Do When You Turn 50 and
60 Things to Do When You Turn 60. 70 Things includes contributions from dignitaries like the Emmy Award Winning filmmaker Elaine Madsen, world-renowned poet Nikki Giovanni, acclaimed writer Daniel Klein, and American Book Award winner Gary Zukav, Retirement Coach Dorian Mintzer, and excerpts of Mark Twain's famous 70th birthday speech.
Mintzer's chapter, called, "Turning 70!" outlines how one should appreciate his own life and the perspective and wisdom gained from confronting life's challenges at age 70+. Since people tend to feel more vulnerable as they age, Mintzer writes that people will have less time to fret about life's uncertainties if they focus on the things over which they have control and create purpose and meaning in their lives.
