- catalog abstract "In this provocative book, Dr. Royda Crose - an expert in the field of gerontology - answers the mystifying questions: Why do women live longer than men? What can men learn from them? Based on years of research and her work in geriatrics, Dr. Crose reveals how women's capacity for flexibility, connection, and resilience allows them to sustain and survive life's inevitable disappointments and crises. And, she explains how boys and men can also develop these attitudes and behaviors, which may add years to their lives. Using a holistic model for wellness that embraces seven life dimensions (physical, emotional, intellectual, social, occupational, spiritual, and environmental), Crose shows how adaptability, change, and creativity are necessary ingredients for enjoying a successful and productive old age. Using numerous real-life examples, she examines the biological and cultural influences that contribute to longevity and makes practical recommendations that will be useful to both women and men. Following her advice will guide readers to not only a longer life but a better life.".
