He observes what  works to make their lives better and more purposeful and what doesn't.  Many authors can talk about aging from their particular vantage points,  but Dr. Agronin is on the front lines as he counsels and treats elderly  individuals and their loved ones on a daily basis. The latest scientific  research and Dr. Agronin's first-hand experience are brilliantly  distilled in \u003ci\u003eThe End of Old Age\u003c\/i\u003e--a call to no longer see aging as  an implacable enemy and to start seeing it as a developmental force for  enhancing well-being, meaning, and longevity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout \u003ci\u003eThe End of Old Age\u003c\/i\u003e,  the focus is squarely on \"So what does this mean for me and my family?\"  In the final part of the book, Dr. Agronin provides simple but  revealing charts that you can fill out to identify, develop, and  optimize \u003ci\u003eyour \u003c\/i\u003eunique age-given strengths.
