Self-Care for the Wisdom Years: Practical Ways to Celebrate the Mystery and Wonder of Aging (Unabridged‪)‬

A bestselling self-care expert invites you to find inspiration in the changes and challenges of aging—and create a more authentic, soul-directed life.

What does aging mean to you? We often look at aging through the lens of what is lost, not what is gained. But as we grow older, we can find the freedom to cultivate a deeper, more meaningful experience of life. “The journey through midlife and beyond,” says Cheryl Richardson, “is when we make the shift from less ego to more soul.” With Self-Care for the Wisdom Years, this bestselling author shares her most valuable insights for helping you age consciously, so you can flourish as a wise and compassionate elder.

Self-care is the key to a rich and joyous experience of aging

Genuine self-care is not about hiding from our aging bodies or denying our mortality. As Cheryl explains, by facing these truths with honesty and presence, we actually disarm our fear and liberate ourselves to focus on what’s truly important. Through six audio sessions, she offers teachings, tools, journaling exercises, and guided practices to help you discover the opportunities and gifts of your later years. Join her to explore:
