The authors of this book acknowledge that older individuals today are generally healthier, more financially secure, and more independent than previous cohorts. They have therefore designed a book to help identify ways in which leisure might contribute positively to later life. Rather than leisure being seen as just a substitute for loss of activity engaged in earlier in life, the book espouses the proposition that leisure can provide new pathways for growth and development. The subtitle, Ulyssean Living in Later Life, reflects the idea that the elderly should be open to new ideas and opportunities just as Ulysses was when he embarked on his epic journeys of adventure in the later years of his life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Aging
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2008
This book uses an interesting comparision of the mythical figure Ulyssus and the aging process. Although interesting, there is little practical substance to apply to the average person who suffers the negative effects of aging.
