What Readers Are Saying

— Jan Bocskay, M.S.W., M.S

“Complex research and medical concepts are explained in easily understood terms. In addition to drawing on her medical and therapeutic knowledge on a wide range of topics, Dr. Monson also describes her personal experiences with several of the various modalities, treatments, or approaches. And, most importantly, Dr. Monson gives readers practical tips on how to incorporate many of the tools for aging optimally into their own lives, in direct and personal ways. Aging Optimally is a book which is sure to be read and used by a wide variety of readers. ”

— Barry A. Lehman, Counselor, Trainer, Consultant

“Aging Optimally is a clear and important summary of ways our self-care can help us move through life in healthier ways. Dr. Monson gives the science behind aging and then covers the breadth of the topic in straightforward explanations. She approaches the topic holistically including body, mind and spirit. She does not give us one answer, but provides us with information that allows the reader to make decisions for themselves. Self-care as we age becomes more important and Dr. Monson’s book is a valuable addition to the information available on what can help.”

— Heather Picotte Principal Owner Get Fresh Communications, LLC Marquette, MI

“Aging Optimally has been a gift to not only myself but my family as well. After reading various books and spending decades exploring options for treating chronic pain and trauma, I’m grateful to find this book. The first few pages helped me to understand how my mind, body, and spirit work on their own and together. A small set of questions at the end of each chapter helped me to assess each of these systems in a manageable way, think about how I was feeling about them, and set reasonable goals for feeling healthier and happier. ”

— Joseph Vorro, Ph.D.

“Throughout the book, Dr. Monson demonstrates how much she values aging, and how much she needs to help us through this process. Aging Optimally can be used by curious individuals interested in living life to the fullest, academics studying theories of human development, and even physicians who seek references and alternatives to guide their aging patients through the complex combination of life’s challenges and stressors. I highly recommend Aging Optimally. It is comprehensive and thorough, yet readable and very interesting. Dr. Monson’s book is certain to help all of us to be as resilient and healthy as possible as we face age-related changes.”

— Deborah Lincoln RN. Masters in Public Health,Licensed Acupuncturist, Dipl.NCCAOM

“I am honored to give my very heart felt review of Dr Carol Monson’s book, which is one of a kind. It’s not only written for medical and lay person, searching for a real fact based education on a cross section of Western, Eastern, many complimentary and alternative healing modalities. I loved the self help questions at the end of the chapters. To many skeptics there is research and science based links. You will come away wanting to delve into so many avenues of health care you were not aware of. It’s about time a collection of health care modalities are so eloquently put forth.”

— Virginia Syperda, D.O., MBA, Ed.D.

“The amount of research and practical knowledge cited in the book was impressive. The chapter on Relationships was a joy to read. The Energy chapters were most challenging as they were much more difficult to conceptualize and present factually from a research standpoint. As a result, I was less confident that I knew the processes involved to facilitate healing. That may be another book in the making! The personal “journal” was very worthwhile. Quotations from well-known personalities from many venues were interspersed throughout the book and were relevant to the topic presented.

Finally, I can say without hesitation that I enjoyed this well-written, interesting book. I found the book hard to put down. I actually read it in 3 days. Professional and personal in content ”

— Jeffry A. Lindenbaum D.O.,FACOFP

“Dr. Monson has poured thousands of hours of research, personal experience, didactic excellence in presenting a manual how to age gracefully, why the choices we make are often so critical many years later, why we must honor our body, mind and spirit in a way that the path is sensible, rewarding and eventually a testimony of how well we progress to maturity.

I heartily recommend reading Aging Optimally! It is time well spent and a reference book that you will cherish having so you can frequently go back to it as a guide for planning your future. It is for the young, the adults of middle age and the it's never too late seniors alike. Enjoy your time well spent! ”

— Linda Lincoln, Real Estate Broker, Glenview, Illinois


The aspect the author chose to present the various sections touched me from the very beginning. I couldn't put this book down. As a maturing baby boomer, I was feeling experienced in life with not much new to look forward to. But as I read each section, I broadened my perception, gained knowledge and confidence to try expanding new avenues of healing my body, mind and spirit. Most importantly, my Hope for achieving a sense of worth and Happiness has been renewed.
