The second People’s Climate March was on Saturday, April 29, 2017.  I wanted to be in Washington D.C. to join with fellow elders on behalf of the planet, but I was unable to walk in solidarity with 200,000 in our nation’s capitol.  Having missed participating in the incomparable energy and [...]

I began to study how people adapt to retirement in 1965.

I had written two books and more than forty journal articles on [...]

While every one of us will experience the mystery we call death, until recently I could empty rooms simply by mentioning the subject of aging. Fortunately, this is beginning to change as more of us can no longer can ignore the signs. The first time a younger person offers you [...]

“What Aging Men Want” by John Robinson, PhD, DMin

2017-01-26T19:33:51+00:00
