Lewiston Auburn Senior College

IN PERSON AT THE LEWISTON-AUBURN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

For many people, the later years of life turn out to be the happiest, richest, and most meaningful.This course will explore factors which help us find satisfaction and meaning as we age. We will examine research about aging and happiness, identify some common barriers to happiness, explore possible resources for finding richness and meaning in later life, look at the role of sorrow and loss, and consider the challenges and opportunities of living alone. Our goal is to share information and insights that will help all of us enhance the qualty of our lives as we age.
