Aging With Grace: What the Nun Study Teaches Us About
Leading Longer, Healthier More Meaningful Lives The study suggests that positive emotions -- even at an early age -- can ward off disease and even prolong life as much as 10 years over those who seem to emote negatively more often than not. Living in community such as a convent, or participating in a Christian church, where people express care and concern for one another contribute immeasurably to longevity and postponing the onset of dementia associated with Alzheimer's. This recently released book is getting a lot of attention and will be read by many. This book has much to teach us about how faith, wisdom, and spirituality can influence the length and quality of our lives. It behooves us to immerse ourselves in its ideas and ask what relevance they may have to the way we do church in our local parishes. To purchase this book at a discount, click
