According to the latest data, Vietnam currently has more than 14 million people aged 60 and over, and this number is expected to continue to increase rapidly in the coming decades. However, along with this trend, social prejudices about old age still exist, causing many middle-aged people to feel limited in work, social activities and personal experiences.
The new book series of Tre Publishing House is not only a spiritual gift for parents and grandparents, but also a source of inspiration for young people to reconsider the concept of age. The main theme of the book series revolves around two axes: Taking care of physical and mental health, while conveying the message of positive living, peacefully welcoming the inevitable changes and separation in life.
The three works that inspire psychology and the meaning of life: "Living a dream" - The most important thing is always ahead
While most of the books develop themselves towards young readers, Stephen R. Covey's "Living a brilliant life" opens a new direction: Affirming that the most important thing in life is always ahead, regardless of age or stage of life. This is Covey's last book, written with his daughter and published 10 years after his death, becoming a valuable spiritual heritage of the author.
The book introduces the philosophy of "The spirit of ngan vang", helping readers find a unique perspective on life: Age does not prevent learning, looking towards the future or contributing to others. Every time in the 30s and 60s is a golden time to practice this spirit. Professor Muhammad Yunus, winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, commented: Living a glorious life teaches us to live a life of purpose, meaning and practical contributions.
"Gifts of life" - love, loss and the meaning of life
This is a true story about a couple of intellectuals who have gone through a journey together for more than 6 decades, while also facing the wife's terminal illness. Author Irvin D. Yalom - Honorary Professor of Psychology at Stanford University, and his wife, Marilyn Yalom, a writer and women's rights scholar, recorded Ms. Marilyn's year of experience fighting bone marrow cancer.
The book depicts a journey from fear, pain to acceptance, and finally living in a calm spirit. At the same time, the work raises profound questions about old life: Should we prolong our life in suffering or choose to leave peacefully? Do children keep their parents out of love or out of social prejudice? With a realistic and touching writing style, "The gift of Life" helps readers prepare mentally and materially for old age, while inspiring them to live fully at all stages.
"Living a life worthy" - 6 secrets to good health of a 102-year-old doctor
Dr. Gladys McGarey, born in 1920, is recognized as the "father of Comprehensive Medicine". In more than 70 years of practice, she has been a pioneer in combining modern medicine with comprehensive care, promoting the partnership between doctors and patients. The book "Living a worthy life" is a collection of her experiences, knowledge and profound personal experiences, helping readers find the "essence of life" in themselves, learning how to heal both physically and mentally.
The book emphasizes that people only change when reaching the threshold must change - what often happens in middle age or when retiring. Through personal stories and records of patients, Dr. Gladys McGarey instructs how to relieve the pressure, anxiety, arouse life energy and maintain sustainable health and happiness. Dr. Robert Waldinger - Director of the Human Development Project at Harvard, commented: "The method of Gladys McGarey touches the hearts of readers, combining medical knowledge, science and soul subtly."
