Future of Aging: Senior Cohousing as Antidote to the Loneliness Epidemic By Nancy P. Kropf, Dean of Perimeter College & Professor of Social Work at Georgia State University and Sherry Cummings, Associate Dean and Profesor of Social Work at University of Tennessee One of the major questions of growing older is, “where do I want to live as I age?” For many baby boomers, an important goal is staying independent as long as possible. Many in this generation desire to age in their homes and make their own choices as long as possible. Living preferences are changing, as are relationship patterns, such as greater numbers of mid- and late-life adults who are single, childless, or live at a distance from adult children. As academic social workers and gerontologists, we have studied numerous issues of later life. Personally, we are both baby boomers and are exploring options for our retirement years.

• Statista - The Statistics Portal for Market Data, Market Research and Market Studies Know Your Personality Type According to the Way You Hold Your Fist – OddMeNot Can the way you hold your fist reveal useful information about your personality? Psychologists have known for decades that people express their personalities through nonverbal cues. The most famous book about this phenomenon is Studies in Expressive Movement, written in 1933 by Gordon Allport and Phillip Vernon. The researchers found that they could reliably use body language to determine whether people were extroverts or introverts.

About the Book – The Enlightened Worldview Project We all have fundamental beliefs about reality and about ourselves, and it is from these beliefs that one constructs a worldview. Some people have a traditional worldview, while others have a more modern or postmodern worldview. In the world today there is a clash of worldviews, between those who are traditionally minded with religion and spirituality vs. those who embrace science and are largely nonreligious in character. Unfortunately, people who have significantly different worldviews are often unable to understand each other and are unable to productively communicate with each other. In order to try to address this clash of worldviews, this book investigates the basic building blocks of fundamental beliefs and how they are constructed into worldviews. Although the disparate groups in our global society can seem to be poles apart, it is possible to develop greater mutual understanding if we first achieve a higher level of inner awareness.
