Celebrating the Rest of Your Life: A Baby Boomer's Guide to Spirituality
The baby boomers were famed for their youthful quests for meaning. As they near old age, spirituality writer David Yount considers the importance of integrating mind and spirit.

For almost six decades now, the baby boomer generation has brought change to America
. Great in number, open in attitude, trailblazing in nature, baby boomers as a generation have questioned, challenged and reconfigured society and economy every step of the way. Their considerable wealth has made them a lucrative market, for whom businesses will generally bend over backwards. Now approaching their retirement years, they are full of radical ideas about later life. Rejecting terms like "elderly" and "senior citizen," the baby boomers are envisioning retirement as a rewarding life stage that may bring their greatest freedom yet – be it in the form of entrepreneurial ventures, deepened relationships, or renewed spiritual pursuits.
David Yount, a writer on spirituality, is aware of the opportunity this moment signals and brings it into focus with Celebrating the Rest of Your Life: A Baby Boomer's Guide to Spirituality.The boomers are well-known as avid seekers, albeit ones who may have been distracted for some years now by the demands of raising and supporting families. Where many baby boomers tended towards exotic, "Eastern" religious paths, at least in their early years, Yount's take is Christian-leaning, though not overly so. His aim, as he puts it, is to make readers think in terms more "thogical – to see ourselves from our designer's perspective."
As Yount sees it, this mode of thought will make middle-aged people more pro-active in their senior years. By maintaining a goal-oriented approach to life, boomers can improve their physical and emotional health as they age and at the same time enhance their lives in a profound way. Practical tips are offered for adding a spiritual element to the everyday and improving outlook for the future. In tune with his generation's indomitable "youthfulness," he exhorts baby boomers to embrace the care of their bodily and spiritual health the more fully as they age.
Full of anecdotes and quotes, written in easy-to-read prose, Yount's volume is a timely consideration of the spiritual dimensions of aging. A compelling read for aging boomers and general audiences, it is also an excellent source of reflections for business and marketing professionals seeking an intellectually keen understanding of the baby boomer generation and the market segment they represent.
