Ageless Thinking: Ways to Grow Younger

NM1 120 min./2 cassettes $12.00
The basic assumption that we go through three levels of aging--youth, middle
and old age is outdated thinking, says More. The assumption that a woman past
her 30's is middle-aged or past her prime is ageist thinking. Raquel Welch and
Sophia Loren have proven by their attitudes and physical appearances that a
woman past 50 is still in her prime! The assumption that a man works towards a
retirement age is stifling--ageless activists like George Burns have mocked the
ticking clock of age.
In this seminar, futurist Natasha More discusses ways to grow younger, both
physically and mentally, including advances in medicine and technology that
have turned back the clock; body sculpting such as plastic, reconstructive and
cosmetic surgery; vitamins, growth hormones, DHEA, and melatonin; caloric
restriction and physical exercise; attitude as a key factor in fighting the
aging process; psychological factors which help to curtail aging; and youthful
thinking, such as optimism and a can-do attitude.

Effective Optimism: How To Make Positive Thinking Practical
By Max More
MM1 65 min./1 cassette $10.00
Pessimism is life-destroying. Pessimism drains energy, damages relationships, and blocks success. Yet blind, irrational optimism has its own problems. Drawing on the research of pioneering psychologists Martin Seligman, Aaron Beck, and Shelley Taylor, More examines the differences between dynamic, effective optimism, and the less realistic kind. You will learn how our thinking affects our motivation and chances of success, as well as several principles for converting common patterns of self-defeating thinking into energizing, motivating thinking.
