Defy Aging

Brickey's structured framework — the mental ABCs of attitudes, beliefs, and coping skills — gives this more shape than most wellness books of its era, and the endorsement from four past APA presidents is not nothing. Some projections about 150-year lifespans feel dated a quarter-century on, and the secular framing skips the role of faith and community that aging research increasingly supports. Still a thoughtful, practically oriented entry for readers in midlife looking to approach their later decades with intention.
