Youre Only Young Twice or Dressing Smart for Men

You're Only Young Twice: 10 Do-Overs to Reawaken Your Spirit

Author: Ronda Beaman

The science of growing young (neoteny) underpins this book about maintaining or rediscovering ten youthful traits in ourselves as we age. The traits are resilience, optimism, wonder, curiosity, joy, humor, musicality (song and dance), work, play, and learning. Across all, there is love. The reader is encouraged to keep a Young Twice Chronicle for recording thoughts and outcomes as the book suggests do-overs and other activities for growing young-from the inside out.

Library Journal

Midlife coach Beaman maintains that the characteristics of youth are the ones those in and beyond midlife need to use to recapture their innate youthfulness. She draws on the concept of neotony (in science, the retention of juvenile traits by adults) to propose nine youthful traits to be regained as people age. "Do-overs" for each trait assist readers in developing such capacities as resilience, optimism, curiosity, humor, music, and play. Beaman tends to oversell her point about growing younger, but her guidelines and exercises will probably boost readers' spirits and help them find more pleasure in life.
