| Résumé: | Recently retired as a professor of gerontology, the author reflects on his own experience of aging. Drawing on the sub-field of narrative gerontology, his area of specialization, and on age-related thoughts by writers like Florida Scott-Maxwell, Carl Jung, and Thomas Moore, he weaves together research concerning Gerotranscendence, Transpersonal Gerontology, and the transformative effects of so-called Near Death Experiences to articulate a vision of aging as, itself, a near-ing death experience. The result is a highly personal meditation on “soulful aging” as a matter of journeying slower, deeper, and wider into the intriguing landscape of later life. |
