The Myth of Aging
A Prescription for Emotional and Physical Well-Being
Arnold Gilberg, MD, a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, has treated thousands of patients in his Los Angeles-based practice. Now, the so-called “psychiatrist to the stars” wants to put his six decades of experience to good use by offering a prescription for happiness and fulfillment, aimed mostly at those enjoying what should be the happiest years of their lives.
Dr. Gilberg, who himself became an ordained rabbi later in life and is still practicing psychiatry as an octogenarian, offers a model for finding the joy and energy to speed up instead of slow down. In The Myth of Aging, he covers a range of topics that center on the inevitabilities—along with the boundless possibilities—of life, believing wholeheartedly that being whatever and whoever you want is not reserved exclusively for the youngest among us. Dr. Gilberg brings his clinical experience to the table to help people create positive changes in their lives.
Because you're never too old—not only to dream, but also to see those dreams come true.
