Peaceful Aging

<p>Karen Casey is a nationally known and recognized author and public speaker, facilitating her 12-step recovery program. Her 28 books focus on her journey to sobriety from alcoholism as well as offering advice to those who are searching for recovery. Her intention for <em>Peaceful Aging</em> will propose readers find closure in the universal experience that aging offers individuals. Beyond Karen Casey’s main readers of women and people in recovery, this book would reach a greater audience of those who are aging and lacking resources for their new path.</p> <p>A study done in Japan concluded that women outlived men drastically in their old-age due to the harsh work culture found in Japan. Many of these <span>women </span><span>experienced increased social isolation </span>and depression due to their loss of a partner and resorted to petty theft and jail time so that they could live within community within their incarceration. Similar to women in Japan, female Americans are also experiencing a similar dilemma due to the lack of community and knowledge that aging takes on them. Karen is looking to reach the <span>11,120 Americans </span>that are retiring from their current jobs every day that are then looking for a passion and direction after <span>their retirement. </span>Much of the United States and those around the world are experiencing a great demographic of their community is "graying," although, not many know how to accept or adapt to their newfound path in life in a positive manner.</p> <p>One of Karen’s bestsellers, <em>Each Day a New Beginning</em>, is celebrating its 40th anniversary edition with over 4 million copies sold. She has been partaking in many events discussing her journey and her previous books, offering advice and knowledge of recovery.</p>
