Janet Benner, Ph.D.’s New Book, “Olders’ Voices,” Collects Wisdom from 29 Participants in Their Late 60s and Up Who Give Honest Accounts of What It’s Like to Grow Old

Goleta, CA, September 01, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Newman Springs Publishing author Janet Benner, Ph.D. has completed her new book, “Olders’ Voices: Wisdom Gladly Shared by the Chronologically Gifted”: a poignant collection of personal accounts of growing older. At age 86, Benner considers herself an "older" as well. She had been looking for a way to assist people in her neighborhood and started a group for 80-something women that inspired this book. She believed it would be the best way to reach older people and those who care for them. She has authored three other nonfiction books: “Parent Survival Training,” “Football: Mysteries Revealed for the Feminine Fan,” and “Smoking Cigarettes: The Unfiltered Truth.”

“I remember when I had my first baby, my thought was no one really told me what this child birthing was all about. I didn’t know this or that or the other thing. That’s the way I feel about aging. No one told us it would be like this,” Benner writes.

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Benner’s engaging work compiles responses from participants in age 69 to 99, identified only by their birth dates to maintain anonymity. They come from a wide variety of professions and occupations, experiences and beliefs. Each "older" answered a series of questions about their life now, what they had done before they were "olders," mobility, health, sexuality, family, religion, spirituality, finances, and more.

Benner said, “This is a book for ‘olders’ to read so they don’t feel so alone, and for youngers to read to know what their beloved ‘olders’ are doing and experiencing, what might they need to make their lives more meaningful and comfortable.”

Readers who wish to experience this unique and inspiring work can purchase “Olders’ Voices: Wisdom Gladly Shared by the Chronologically Gifted” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
