Celebrate Eldership! with Elders Academy Press Book Offer

Buy 3 get your 4th book free*

Elders Academy Press seeks to change our view of aging from an undesirable process to an understanding of aging as important for our continued maturation in becoming elders. The Press thus seeks to encourage people to approach aging with appreciation and awareness so we might give back as elders to the generations that follow us.

As noted by Elizabeth Bugental, it is a pretty good bet that our old age will last at least as long as our adolescence. While most of us didn't plan out our life path during adolescence, if we are lucky we might have an opportunity to do so in old age. The question is do we have the courage to examine our fears, desires and motives and determine how we would like to live the last decades of our life.

Through partnerships with writers such as Elizabeth Bugental and Gloria Steinem, Elders Academy Press seeks to encourage us to approach the process of aging with consciousness and to direct our thinking toward the possibilities ahead.

To celebrate the possibilities ahead Elders Academy Press is delighted to offer readers a Celebrate Eldership coupon to enjoy four books for the price of only three.

Recently Bob Edelstein writes on "We are No-thing"

Bob Edelstein on his blog Authentic Engagement has a recent article entitled "We are No-thing -From no-thing-ness I discover my unique existential identity" in which he suggests an alternate paradigm to "being a somebody or something" in our culture.

"Crisis often mobilizes us to experience the transitory nature of life and our no-thing-ness. Acknowledging that we are no-thing goes against the cultural paradigm that all we are is some-thing. One must come from the space of one’s no-thing in order to be authentically some-thing." Read the full article

The Politics of Trust

HISTORY AND MISSION OF THE VASCONCELLOS LEGACY PROJECT

In 2001, recognizing that he would be departing the Legislature in November, 2004 (by reason of term limits), after 38 years representing the heart of the Silicon Valley, Senator Vasconcellos convened his brain trust to seek a way to sustain the practices and pragmatic outcomes of his collaborative, bipartisan policymaking. "As concerned Californians with a history of successful engagement within the Legislature, we recognized several downsides of term limits, including the loss of institutional memory, reduced focus on long range planning, and far less time for mentoring and the development of the experience necessary for effective reform."
