Well, I’m not going to be specific at this time 😉 but the book I have been reading in January was 60 Things to Do When You Turn 60, edited by Ronnie Sellers. What a fun book!!
Inside this book, 60 writers who have turned 60 offer 60 recommendations for an exciting, enthusiastic life after the age of 60. Important people offer advice in many areas of life.
In the introduction, Sellers wrote, ‘There was no way that anyone over sixty could ever understand anything about our generation because there had never been a generation as special as ours. And we’re still special. And that’s why we’re younger at sixty than anyone has ever been before…and better looking, too’)
The book is divided into nine sections.
Section one reminds the baby-boomers about their roots of involvement in collective concepts and change-the-world actions.
Section two is about beliefs, from prayer, to finding one’s own island, to reflecting on things, and to experiencing life.
Section three is good vibrations involving art, humor, yoga, affirmations, meditation, being inspired with life.
Section four is about learning, re-learning, exercising, encouraging one’s curiosity, starting new things, making commitments, volunteerism, and discovering what really matters.
Section five is all about money: making it, using it wisely, handling insurances, and strategizing ones finances.
Section six addresses physical and mental health, from skin rejuvenations to handling diseases and stress.
Section seven concerns the rediscovery of self.
Section eight is on sex and love.
Section nine is about enjoying grandchildren, taking an interest in other people, the world, and traveling.
What will you do differently now?

S.E.L.F. — serenity phrase; exercise 20 minutes each day; love with family and friends; food (fish and blueberries).
Sixty Things to Do When You Turn Sixty from Sellers Publishing, Inc. is 360 pages in paperback. I recommend this book to anyone who expects to turn sixty sooner or later, which would be just about everyone, probably. The royalties from the sale of the book are donated to various nonprofit organizations; just the thing that baby boomers would do.
