Ageless Aging contains a wealth of information, including inspiring stories and high profile examples of women of age living their best lives. Building your wisdom, the positivity effect, and the importance of having friends and coworkers of all ages really ring true for me! I’m looking forward to charting my own path and plan to put the ageless aging recipe to work while pulling in my partner to talk about all this too. . I’ve been wondering lately what this next stage of our life looks like … what do I want it to look like, what do we want it to look like? This book has steps to help us start a conversation and formulate the answers.

This was a useful read, probably life changing if you put your everything into doing the work. Some of these things I knew, others I didn't. What I liked about it is that it gave me the feeling that I really want to do something to change my way of doing things in order to be more serene in my old age.

I enjoyed reading Maddy Dychtwald and Kate Hanley's book, Ageless Aging. They provide a solid and comprehensive framework for addressing social, physical, and emotional aging. Although most of the material was information I was already aware of through other resources, I did find the action plan at the end of the book especially useful. This action plan was broken down by chapter and provided specific steps that could be taken to address each area of aging. The action plan allowed me to prioritize my efforts and key in on the aspects that are most meaningful to me. #NetGalley

This was a motivating, inspiration read. I appreciated the comprehensive, one-stop book that covers everything regarding a woman’s experience with aging. I appreciate that the author made sure to target everything to women specifically since so much of modern medicine is based on men - a man’s experience, most effective dosage based on studying men, etc.

The author covers a wide variety of topics from exercise to nutrition to mindfulness and the power of maintaining positivity. While she is just one woman, she also shares her own powerful story and is someone who walks the walk as opposed to just talking the talk.

This book is a great, judgement-free way to gain perspective on some the actionable things you can do to support your own aging process, as well as talking points for future research to expand on the topics.

The electronic version of this book is very difficult to read. As far as the information goes, it’s not anything new. For a better book on the same subject, I’d suggest Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity.

I wanted to read this because I am in my mid thirties and the conversation around menopause, changes in hormone levels affecting mood and metabolism has been a topic among most of my friends and I loved the approach the author took with this book. It starts out from a personal experience and grows into research, on what's available currently for women in the context of her research, inquiries and also shared information and I could relate to most of what she shared. I do wish that there was a lot more on black women in this and more so with a focus on Africa, that could truly highlight some of the sociocultural factors linked to aging and nutrition. Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
