Description
Book Introduction
Aging: Now, let's rewrite our life journey with "well-aging."
Health, mind, relationships, and even learning—
Unraveling the secrets of living a fulfilling and prosperous life, even as you age.
"The Art of Aging: 10 Secrets to Well-Aging" is not just a book about how to live long, but a book that contains deep reflections on how to age.
The author compares the journey of sailing the second half of life to a ship, sails, and anchor, and presents 10 practical ways to live a balanced life in physical, emotional, social, and economic dimensions.
The book is broadly divided into four stages.
'Setting Sails for Sailing' explores the power of a healthy body and mind, and the power of relationships.
'Setting the Sails of Connection' explores intergenerational communication and new learning and expansion through the digital world.
In 'Unfolding the Sails and Going Forward', we talk about finding vitality through culture, art, hobbies, and travel.
In 'Firmly Dropping the Anchor of Life', we share wisdom on preparing for financial freedom and death after retirement.
Today, with the life expectancy of Koreans exceeding 83 years, what is more important than simply living a long life is living a long and healthy life.
This book will serve as a practical compass for middle-aged and older readers, guiding them to live more proactively and enrichingly in the latter half of their lives.

Into the book
Well-aging goes beyond simply living longer; it is the process of thinking about how to live a healthy and meaningful life and putting it into practice.
A healthy body is more than just the absence of disease; it is the foundation for accepting age positively and fully enjoying each day.
--- p.16
As people age, they tend to perceive their health negatively, experiencing changes such as decline in physical strength, chronic illness, and decline in sensory functions.
This awareness does not simply mean that the body is weakened.
It's deeply connected to many elements of our minds and daily lives, such as our attitude toward life, emotions, and interpersonal relationships. Especially in middle age, how we cultivate our health and attitude toward life from now on can determine whether old age can be a vibrant and independent time, or a time of constraints requiring assistance. --- p.47
The difficulty of intergenerational communication is not just a problem of conflict between family members.
This is also a question of how we live together, how we can understand and empathize with each other.
The first step we need to take to live well together, having lived in different eras, is to look back on our own eras.
--- p.100
Granfluencer is a new word that combines the first letter 'gran' from 'influencer--- p. influencer, influential person' and the first letter 'grandma--- p. grandmother), grandpa--- p. grandfather.
Grand Influencers are seniors who share their lives and produce trendy content on social media like YouTube and Instagram.
They have a huge impact on various fields such as health, fashion, food, and lifestyle.
In this way, regardless of age, they actively utilize digital technology and online platforms to communicate with various generations, and they demonstrate the potential to go beyond the role of content consumers and become entities that create their own brands.
--- p.120
As we age, our life patterns tend to settle into familiar routines.
In particular, although we often have more free time, the range of activities is often limited, so traveling provides a special opportunity to escape the monotony of familiarity and experience new stimulation.

Publisher's Review
Today, the life expectancy of Koreans has exceeded 83 years.
But now, it is not simply an era where living long is important.
Everyone asks.
"How should we age?" "The Art of Aging: 10 Secrets to Well-Aging" answers this very question and provides a guide to making life more active and meaningful after middle age.
This book does not limit well-aging to simple health management or preparation for old age.
The author addresses aging through four axes: body, mind, relationships, and learning, and presents ten specific ways to live the latter half of life.
While accepting the changes in your body as you age, we help you extend your healthy lifespan by improving your eating, exercise, sleep, and lifestyle habits.
It also suggests ways to strengthen your mental strength through emotional management, memory training, and redefining your life purpose.
Furthermore, it helps people discover new joys and connections through intergenerational communication, digital utilization, hobbies, arts and culture, and travel, and finally, it covers financial preparation after retirement and wisdom for facing death, helping them secure a firm anchor at the end of their life's voyage.
In particular, this book stands out for its use of the metaphor of ‘voyage’ to explain well-aging.
The process of raising the sails to launch the ship, attaching the sails to connect with the world, riding the wind to advance, and finally dropping the anchor is closely connected to the journey of life.
The moment the reader turns the page, he or she realizes that he or she is already on that voyage.
No one can decide for you how you will live the second half of your life.
But the author guides readers to age gracefully and with dignity, using practical tips, examples, and a warm gaze.
This book is not simply a self-help book or a health guide.
This book delivers the message to everyone entering the second half of life: “Aging is another beginning.”
This book is essential for everyone: middle-aged people nearing retirement, parents contemplating a new life after their children become independent, or young people preparing for their own future while watching their parents age.
There is no specific way to age well.
Taking care of myself, learning, connecting, and preparing right here and now is well-aging.
This book will be your most reliable compass and sail for that journey.
