"Dr. Royda Crose tackles one of biology's greatest and most important mysteries. Everyone wants to live longer and this book has answers that won't send you to health food stores to buy some magic potion. Dr. Crose show us what we can learn from women about this crucial subject." -- Dean S. Edell, M.D., medical journalist
It's no secret that women outlive men by an average of seven years. But what accounts for this longevity gender-gap? Are women biologically predisposed to live longer? What psychological characteristics can women teach men to help them live longer? Can women's changing role in society enhance their prospects for an even longer life?
In this provocative book, Dr. Royda Crose - an expert in the field of gerontology - answers these mystifying questions. Based on years of research and her work in geriatrics, Dr. Crose reveals how women's capacity for flexibility, connection, and resilience allows them to sustain and survive life's inevitable disappointments and crises. And, she explains how boys and men can also develop these attitudes and behaviors which may add years to their lives.
Using numerous real-life examples, she examines the biological and cultural influences that contribute to longevity and makes practical recommendations that will be useful to both women and men. Following her advice will guide readers to not only a longer life but a better life.
