Description: Prime Time identifies three developmental stages of aging. It chronicles the journey from around age 60 when confusion sets in about the emotional and physical challenges associated with the inevitable declines of aging and the issues of retirement, relationships and living arrangements. The individual begins to address the ways they can learn to flourish while at the same time leaving a meaningful legacy. Dr. Schaupp illustrates how the vulnerabilities aging adults face offer them a unique opportunity for self-reflection and self-fulfilmment, as they craft a "new life" with the requisite psychological toos and strong determination.
