Resumen del Editor

For those fortunate enough to reside in the developed world, death before reaching a ripe old age is a tragedy, not a fact of life. Although aging and dying are not diseases, older Americans are subject to the most egregious marketing in the name of "successful aging" and "long life," as if both are commodities. In Rethinking Aging, Nortin M. Hadler examines health-care choices offered to aging Americans and argues that too often the choices serve to profit the provider rather than benefit the recipient, leading to the medicalization of everyday ailments and blatant overtreatment. Rethinking Aging forewarns and arms listeners with evidence-based insights that facilitate health-promoting decision making. Over the past decade, Hadler has established himself as a leading voice among those who approach the menu of health-care choices with informed skepticism. Only the rigorous demonstration of efficacy is adequate reassurance of a treatment's value, he argues; if it cannot be shown that a particular treatment will benefit the patient, one should proceed with caution.

In Rethinking Aging, Hadler offers a doctor's perspective on the medical literature as well as his long clinical experience to help listeners assess their health-care options and make informed medical choices in the last decades of life. The challenges of aging and dying, he eloquently assures us, can be faced with sophistication, confidence, and grace.

Very informative and eye opening!

The book was technical and long, but that's exactly what I hoped it would be. As a fitness professional who works to help our aging population live active and healthy lives this book is a great are source for me and my clients.

A little too technical and boring to get much out of it.

Had lots of good information though. Some actionable but the most part was just over my head. Offered nothing more than good for thought.
