The Miracle Morning After 50: A Proven Path to Joy, Vitality, and Purpose for Aging Adults by Hal Elrod and Dwayne J. Clark is a self-help guide that leans into the ways that structured morning routines influence health, cognitive function, and overall daily performance for people over fifty. They describe the S.A.V.E.R.S. system, which includes Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing, as a framework for building intentional mornings that promote mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The guidance is highly detailed, whether they are sharing insight on breathwork and affirmations, or visualization and gentle exercise, and they encourage you to begin with small increments of time and add more over the weeks, to strengthen adherence. All this and more is provided to keep the Miracle Morning adaptable and backed up by science, case studies, and multiple references.
Hal Elrod and Dwayne J. Clark’s The Miracle Morning After 50 is a very well-written guide. The authors do an excellent job of bringing the Miracle Morning philosophy to readers with plenty of advice, and even thoughtful adaptations depending on which decade over fifty a reader is in. Both authors contribute throughout, and the inclusion of testimonials from people who have embraced these practices makes the benefits feel relatable. I like that they translate habits into actionable routines that are actually achievable, showing how small changes in the morning can result in increased vitality, focus, and satisfaction throughout the day. The standout to me as a woman of Asian descent, aside from the better-known Tai Chi, is the championing of “Earthing.” I personally connected this with the philosophy I grew up with called shinrin yoku, or Forest bathing, and I found the inclusion to be wonderful. Overall, this is a fabulous book through and through. Very highly recommended.

Alesa Lightbourne’s Bad Ass Grandma: Living Large, Finding Awe redefines what it means for an older woman to be Bad Ass after all the former trappings of the rat race begin to lose their old authority. Lightbourne shows that this identity is not built through reckless daring. It comes from knowing when to act, when to listen, when to let go, and when to begin again. Through her own return to overseas teaching, her years beside Rich after his stroke, Linda’s prison volunteer work, Ingrid’s bond with Cartine in Rwanda, and Suzanne’s decision to leave Marcus, Lightbourne presents later life as a time of active choice. Her book asks women to measure themselves by honesty, service, wisdom, and the lives they still have the power to shape.
Bad Ass Grandma by Alesa Lightbourne has the direct, sit-up-straight honesty of a self-help memoir that means real business. The author looks at older womanhood with plain sense, giving the reader moments that dance between the lives and experiences of multiple women. What I love about this book is that the author has such an assortment that there's something for everyone. Louise burning Barbara’s cruel letter after prayer becomes a lesson in mercy that protects both sisters, while Virginia’s daily drinking after her husband’s betrayal shows how pain can name the next decision if a woman pays attention. What I respect most is that the author puts herself on the line, forgiving unpaid child support in court, then using a body-based exercise that helps a grievance loosen its hold. The book gives readers usable wisdom, because repair and courage are both shown as bad ass. This is the perfect book for readers “of a certain age” who are ready for straight talk with real heart.

Grandpa Day: Nurturing Grit, Smarts, and Love in the Next Generation by Perry Solomon is a guide that digs into how new grandfathers often feel at a loss about their own relevance, and gives his ideas on presence and attention as the backbone of effective involvement. He sets up current expectations next to mid twentieth century patterns, speaking on how participation was limited because of work and shorter life expectancies. Solomon describes recurring “Grandpa Days” designed around each child’s interests, showing how repeated shared activities build trust and security over time. Examples involving aviation, music, reading, and food illustrate how observation guides planning and supports interest development. Solomon champions cooperation with parents, respect for routines, and calmer settings (such as meals). He documents methods for mentoring through listening, shared experiences, community, and adaptable use of technology.
Grandpa Day by Perry Solomon is the book most grandfathers probably did not know that they needed, and it is a wonderful wealth of knowledge. Solomon has the experience of being a grandparent himself, and I love that he uses his own stories with his grandchildren and applies them as examples to all that he shares. The writing style is straightforward and conversational, feeling more like a chat than a guide, and, most importantly, it is relevant to contemporary relationships and child rearing. Solomon's approach looks to the present and the future, and does not rely on the usual “back in my day” as a reference on bonds today. The standout to me is the respect given to children as participants, and not simply kids going along with Grandpa. The effect is encouraging and practical, leaving readers prepared to actually show up with patience and love during everyday moments together. Overall, this is the perfect companion for grandfathers ready to be genuine companions to their grandkids themselves.

Sarah Barry's 9 Habits of Happy Retirees approaches retirement as something beyond our typical idea of retiring, which is focused on one thing: massive financial achievement. Barry walks readers through the emotional, physiological, and psychological landscape most of us often miss. From leaving a career, covering everything from the honeymoon phase of early retirement through the harder period of disenchantment, all the way to finding what truly makes sense to our core being: genuine stability and purpose. The book outlines nine practical habits that address the mindset, physical health, social connections, lifelong learning, volunteering, and embracing new life adventures, giving readers a comprehensive, honest map for a significant life transition.
What makes 9 Habits of Happy Retirees easy to read is the conversational writing style—she writes like you are having a cup of tea or a coffee break with a knowledgeable friend rather than a distant authority figure. Right from the beginning, the author successfully captures readers' attention in a friendly fashion. The structured approach to retirement’s phases is particularly valuable and digestible, offering clarity to anyone feeling unsettled by the change. The practical advice throughout is actionable and grounded rather than vague. Barry keeps the pace brisk and accessible. While some chapters could benefit from deeper exploration, Barry’s approach is beneficial for those in the beginning phase of their retirement planning journey. For readers looking for a retirement roadmap or searching for directions, this is a perfect book to challenge the conventional concept of retirement.

Non-Fiction - Retirement
Reviewed by Carol Thompson for Readers' Favorite
The Wisdom and Wealth Solution by Feroz Ansari is a guide to understanding how personal fulfillment and financial stability intersect. The book begins with a simple yet striking question posed to a classroom of MBA students: would they rather receive $20 million or a Nobel Prize? Nearly all choose money, revealing how deeply society equates wealth with happiness. Ansari uses this moment to introduce the book’s central idea: true prosperity requires more than financial success. According to Ansari, total wealth combines financial resources with what he calls “Wisdom Wealth,” which includes purpose, relationships, self-awareness, and meaningful goals. Ansari explains that people often chase financial achievements while neglecting the internal values that give those achievements meaning. He introduces the concept of the “concrete box,” a metaphor for the cultural, social, and familial influences that shape beliefs about success. The book encourages readers to examine these inherited assumptions and to consider how they affect personal fulfillment and financial behavior.
Feroz Ansari writes in a reflective style that blends storytelling with practical insight. His pacing allows time to pause and consider questions about belief systems, career choices, and financial habits without feeling rushed. His voice is conversational yet thoughtful, drawing on examples from classrooms, professional advising, and personal reflection. Ansari moves smoothly between philosophical ideas and real-world situations, which keeps the material grounded in everyday experience. Readers who enjoy books that combine personal development with financial thinking will appreciate the approach taken in The Wisdom and Wealth Solution. The writing invites readers to examine their inner values and their economic goals. Those interested in purposeful living, long-term planning, and the relationship between money and meaning will find the book especially engaging.

Mark Shaiken's autobiography It's What Makes Me . . . Me spans various facets of his life and career, discussing personal and professional experiences and issues, from maneuvering through individuality and societal expectations to juggling a dual career as an indie author and attorney. Shaiken candidly reflects on childhood struggles in Queens and New Haven, confronting things like bullying and social integration. He speaks on passions such as photography and music, sharing with us how these pursuits shaped his personal and professional identity. He also shares his own imaginings, like joining Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, although he acknowledges Springsteen does not need him. Despite this, Shaiken continues to find happiness in writing songs and playing guitar. Throughout his work, the author leans toward the power of resilience, drawing on experiences from his legal practice and creative endeavors to underscore themes of growth and acceptance.
Mark Shaiken does an excellent job of showing readers his authentic voice in It's What Makes Me . . . Me, which, given the title of this memoir, is fitting. What's interesting is that part of Shaiken's growth comes in the form of his understanding that just because he must be true to himself, it does not mean at the expense of those around him. The memoir portrays his actual personal growth and a reflective journey over time, showing an evolution in thinking and behavior. For example, Shaiken discusses his writing and, in one instance, particularly in terms of filtering his thoughts and considering the impact of his words on others. As a reader over a certain age, I most appreciated Shaiken's unflinching honesty about the challenges and realities of aging, contrasting sharply with societal platitudes about the "golden years." His candid reflections resonate deeply with readers like myself who also struggle with similar issues, and I found nuggets of camaraderie in the raw truth expressed. Overall, a personal, relatable, and well-written memoir. Recommended.

Mexico Bound is a detailed and practical guide for anyone considering a move to Mexico, whether for retirement, remote work, or a fresh start. Emmett Horan draws from his own travel experiences and interviews with expats to explain why so many Americans and Canadians are choosing to live in Mexico. The book covers everything from cost of living and healthcare to visa requirements, banking, housing, and integration into local communities. Readers meet real people who’ve made the move—like Sarah, a remote worker from Seattle who found a better quality of life in Mérida, and Tom and Linda, retirees from Canada, who built a vibrant life in San Miguel de Allende. Horan also gives step-by-step instructions on navigating Mexico’s immigration system, managing finances, and understanding cultural customs.

Aging can be challenging for most. It comes with not only gray hair but also bodily changes, health concerns, and other types of challenges. In Keenagers: Telling a New Story about Aging by Corinne Auman, you are asked to consider the gifts that aging offers. Keenagers' and teenagers' lives are parallel yet lived at different phases. Both possess a passion for life and living but are still trying to understand and work out the kinks for the next level. Regardless of how you see aging, it can represent a new and exciting opportunity, especially with the proper support. Move away from how you usually look at aging and consider how offering more structure, information, and services on medical, caregiving, finances, retirement, and family planning can present a healthier longevity. In the book, various individuals tell their stories about living their best life well beyond their 60s, from starting a new career and building a business to creating a livelihood around a hobby they’ve always had a passion for.
I agree with Corinne Auman referring to the purpose of creating Keenagers: Telling a New Story about Aging. Being over 60 does not represent being washed up and older people can still serve a purpose. The aging community is not a liability but an asset. People are living longer, healthier, and vibrant lives. They have wisdom and are setting trends. The younger generations are trying to catch on to their style by coloring their hair gray, white, or silver which shows that gray hair is not only stylish but is the latest trend. Let’s shift away from the stereotypes of judging, illegal firing, forcing out of jobs, or the continued biases that the aging community is experiencing and instead become their ambassadors and advocate for a better quality of life. You will never look at the aging community the same way once you read this book. Instead, you will discover and experience a different and inspiring outlook of those who are living a highly elevated life.
