RECENT PUBLICATION
Mindful Aging
We all age. We all hope to age gracefully. However, we generally need some guidance to make sure that we are aging gracefully.
Mindful Aging is the ideal baby boomer guide book for mindful aging. Andrea Brandt’s book gleans many of the practices of mature aging that she teaches in her Andrea Brandt Therapy practice but gears these practices specifically for the baby boomer generation, which is reaching retirement age in droves.
Mindful Aging helps you reach your highest potential and find fulfillment as you age and life continues to change in unexpected ways. Find peace of mind as you read Dr. Brandt’s insight into the aging process and find new ways to embrace the life you’re living.
"8 Keys to Eliminating Passive Aggressiveness" was a good book. I researched PA books for a while before I bought this one. I am an engineer and know very little about psychology. This book is straight forward, concise and provides realistic approaches to help you.
"Mindful Anger" changed my behavior (because it reached my mind and heart) while I was listening to it, which I did twice. I thought it organized information well and gave really excellent examples that I could understand and relate to. Sometimes you just need one really beautiful or important thing to take away and make your own, and this book gave me that.
"Mindful Aging" is an enjoyable and useful book. It's for all ages but I found it so helpful I bought copies for my friends. It's written so all ca n follow and make use of the advise. It's not at all dull or preachy as some self help books are and it helped me embrace my age with joy and not despair!
