About this listen
A Guide for Aging Heroes is a groundbreaking work that crushes stereotypes about growing older, overrides traditional societal expectations, and redefines the second half of life as a renaissance. While it engages readers in strategies for cultivating transformative life skills, A Guide for Aging Heroes reaches beyond the borders of the typical self-help book.
Aging Heroes is a way of being. It is a lifestyle marked by adventure, personal evolution, service, and wonder. A Guide for Aging Heroes takes listeners on a voyage of self-exploration that embraces the inherent interconnections between everyone and everything.
As people enter mid-life, they seem to have two potential trajectories. They either double down on submitting to societal dictates and calcify into lives of mediocrity, or they embrace their uniqueness and, like the velveteen rabbit, become more and more real. Folks who are interested in this second tack are Aging Heroes. They are people who are in love with being alive. They contribute. They connect. They create. They make a difference.

Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things - and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against - and teach us how to fight back.

In this landmark audiobook, the originator and pioneering researcher into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) lays out the psychological flexibility skills that make it one of the most powerful approaches research has yet to offer. These skills have been shown to help even where other approaches have failed. Science shows that they are useful in virtually every area - mental health, physical health, social processes, and performance.

Achievement often comes at a cost. Angst, restlessness, frayed relationships, exhaustion, and even substance abuse can be the unwanted side effects of an obsession with outward performance. While the high of occasional wins can keep you going for a while, playing into the always-on, never enough hustle culture ultimately takes a serious toll.

Being positive is a habit that needs to be developed. Our mind has the extraordinary ability to learn even the most complicated things. We just have to repeat the action continuously for a short time, and it will be assimilated. It is a bit like riding a bicycle - it is difficult, at first, to maintain balance but then, it becomes an automatic action. You won't even have to think about moving the pedals.
