Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Growing old is often associated with negative images and commentary. Aging Well Through Storytelling explores the beauty of aging and identifies key strategies and practices to age well. Weaving professional analysis and personal experience, Rosemary J. Link tells the story of a lifespan from infancy to seniority. Each chapter focuses on a life stage, laying the conceptual foundations from psychosocial theory and then marrying research to reality with a pair of personal pieces by Link and her mother, Gwendoline--some correspondence between the two, and others as separate reflections on the same stage of life. The stories touch themes such as being trusted with tasks as a child, truanting, questioning authority, being absorbed in the joys and stings of beekeeping, being overwhelmed midlife, recovering from the death of a child, and embracing gender and reconciliation. Through this tale of two lifetimes, Link harnesses the science of lifespan development and her own life journey to present aging as a positive process of discovery and acquiring wisdom. Linking real-life stories to concepts, she shares practice interventions and practical ways to age with vitality and embrace this precious aspect of life.
