Living and aging creatively and joyfully is an incredible way to do it with grace. All of the elements we need for our optimal wellness and not to mention happiness are a part of this mix.
The importance of creativity in our lives and in terms of aging with power and joy can not be understated.
I’m in conversation with Rob Schwartz. Rob is the son of Morrie Schwartz who was the subject of the famous Tuesdays With Morrie
Rob just recently released the book posthumously, The Wisdom Of Morrie: Living and Aging Creatively and Joyfully by Rob Schwartz and Morrie Schwartz.
Rob shares powerful insights and wisdom he gleaned from his dad as young kid and as his father continued aging with grace while battling ALS.
In this new book, Morrie presents life questions in a profound, poetic, and poignant way. It is a masterpiece for living and aging joyfully and creatively.
Later life can be filled with many challenges, but it can also be one of the most beautiful and rewarding passages in anyone’s lifetime. In this latest book Morrie Schwartz draws on his experiences as a social psychologist, teacher, father, friend, and role model offering us a road map to navigate the ups and downs of life.
Morrie Schwartz was a professor of Sociology and Social Psychology for 30+ years at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, before retiring at age 70.
Living and Aging Creatively and Joyfully
- Aging well isn’t about looking younger — it’s about living fuller
- Creativity doesn’t have an expiration date — it deepens when you stop caring what people think
- Joy in midlife and beyond is less about chasing and more about noticing — the small things you used to rush past
- The people who age most vibrantly aren’t the ones who fight it — they’re the ones who stay curious
- Your body is changing. So is your wisdom, your patience, your ability to know exactly what matters to you
- This chapter doesn’t have to be a slowdown — it can be the most honest, most you one yet
While I’ve been robbed of joy lately cause life really sucks and I’ve suffered an insurmountable loss – I’m leaning in to close friends and nature to find peace and calm in our all too hectic world.
