About this ebook
Embrace the golden years with a renewed sense of vigor and understanding in this enlightening exploration of seniority. This book delves deep into the intricate relationship between optimism, health, and aging, drawing from both personal experiences and broad statistical insights. Learn how factors such as one’s cultural background, specifically the rise of immigrant seniors in the U.S., shape the aging experience, contrasting them with the socio-politico-economic intricacies of Latin American countries.
Uncover the ever-evolving dynamics of senior care, from the intricacies of love relationships among older couples to the stark disparities between genders, both in health risks and societal expectations. This is juxtaposed against the author’s empowering journey of proactive healthcare and wellness. Recognize the transformative power of systematic exercising in bolstering self-assurance, happiness, and most importantly, joy. With philosophical insights from the likes of Aristotle and more, discover how inner joy, consistent self-care, and embracing one’s strengths and weaknesses play pivotal roles in enriching the experience of seniority.
This guide invites you on a journey of self-discovery, offering a fresh perspective on aging with a harmonious blend of optimism, health, and profound happiness.

In memoriam to my mother, Siria,
Who exerted a considerable influence on my pedagogic, scientific, and writing career.
To the indelible remembrance of my wife, Gladys,
Who transmitted and made me learn the deep feeling of empathy, in its deepest human meaning.
To my two children, Rosita and Tonito,
Whose lives and performances materialize my dreams and aspirations as a father.

and Happiness?

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

"Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you."
