SuperAging
Get older without getting old! Welcome to the dazzling new world of SuperAging, where everything you've been taught about aging is challenged. Getting older does not need to mean the end of accomplishment and growth. For SuperAgers, the period after age sixty-five can be one of the most productive and fulfilling times of life. SuperAging is already a reality for millions. But the science, business, and culture of aging have changed at such a rapid pace that they can be hard to keep up with. That's where authors David Cravit and Larry Wolf can help. They've broken SuperAging down into seven simple components--Attitude, Awareness, Activity, Autonomy, Achievement, Attachment, and Avoidance--and in this groundbreaking book, they show how you can put these forces to work in your own life. From taking control of your health and health care to revolutionary ways of thinking about retirement, money, housing, and even relationships, you'll discover how to make your seventies, eighties, nineties, and beyond some of the best years of your life. Why settle for getting old when you can thrive?
The New Old
Focusing on the Baby Boomer generation, this argument explores how this group is permanently destroying previous attitudes toward aging, retirement, senior citizens, and even the concept of death. An analysis of welfare rates and health-care costs demonstrates that the Boomers are influencing everything from education and employment to housing, health, beauty, and sex. With solid statistical support, this groundbreaking study takes a closer look at new kinds of social relationships as well as new products that can reduce or even eliminate the effects of aging. The topics covered offer a sneak preview of an imminently new societyone in which receiving a gold watch at the age of 65 will simply mean the first half of life is over.

How I Succeeded in Retirement and the Biway Story
The story of Mal Coven the family man, the businessman, and the entrepreneur for whom retirement from the Biway has meant pursuing original entrepreneurial ideas -- as well as brushing up against and corresponding with celebrities Barbara Walters, Larry King, Nancy Sinatra, Jackie Mason, Bud Selig, Mort Zuckerman, Arthur Sulzberger Jr., and others. Coven reveals the secrets behind his and Abe Fish's founding and development of the Biway, a hugely successful discount chain that predated the coming of Wal-Mart to Canada. During their twenty-eight-year tenure, the Biway grew to 249 stores across eight provinces, delivering quality merchandise at low markups and low prices never before seen in a chain store in the country. Interwoven throughout are stories of the author's many passions, including breakfasts with "The Knights of the Round Bagel," following the Toronto Blue Jays, and cultivating his taste for smoked meat, hot dogs, and other fun foods.
Beyond Age Rage
The headlines are getting more frequent -- the language, more inflammatory. A war between the generations. The greedy boomers refusing to get out of the way. The hapless millennials struggling to find a footing. A crisis in pensions. A crisis in jobs. A crisis in health care ... But is that the true story? In this provocative new book, David Cravit, author of The New Old, dissects the apparent war -- and comes to some surprising conclusions: Yes, there are intergenerational conflicts (and some of them look serious) ... but the "war" is a matter of emotion more than reality Yes, the boomers and seniors are changing all the rules of the "expected" way to age ... but the results are anything but dire, as so many pundits would have us believe Yes, the millennials are outnumbered and ill-equipped ... but they're being saved, anyway As Cravit shows, even as the apparent intergenerational war unfolds, the winning "army" is already creating the peace ... and the foundations for a much more creative, cooperative, and successful society of the future.

Retirement Surprises
A basic question is what can we do to prepare for the unexpected so that we can continue to live our current lifestyle during retirement? There are so many possibilities for disruption. And, these disruptive influences can come from a variety of sources, beyond simply financial implications. They can readily include medical, marital events, and dealing with dependent children. It so very critical to create that plan for retirement. Not only will that plan keep you active, allow you to pursue your passions, encourage self-reinvention and happiness, but also it will assist you in preparing for the unexpected.
