The Art of Living Aging by Rudolf Likar
With advances in medicine, better nutritional and living conditions, and a few other factors, human life expectancy in the Western world has increased sharply. Individual and social aging processes are noticeable in many areas of life. The influences range from medicine, science, social interaction to the organization of everyday life and lifetime.
In many contributions, well-known representatives from medicine, nursing, psychology, philosophy and ethnology as well as other disciplines approach the aging process with its different facets. They describe the positive characteristics of aging and show the benefits of getting older. However, aging is also a process that is associated with suffering, limitations and deficits, these negative characteristics are also sufficiently discussed and contrasted with the positive ones.
A banal comparison of the parameters of the old person with those of a young person turns out to be impossible. It would also be an unfair comparison, which ultimately paints a contemptuous and ruthless caricature of old age. Aging cannot be described without adjectives, but in the end there could be an overcoming of the positive aspects over the bad qualities. Getting older is comparable to a laborious mountain hike, which is rewarded with a good view at the end.
The book is aimed at all people who are open-minded about the changes in aging and want to deal with the advantages and disadvantages.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
