“Like Dorothy looking everywhere in Oz when she had the
answer all along, most Americans are looking for youth in all the wrong
places,” says Anti-aging psychologist Dr. Michael Brickey. “The key is your
Attitudes, Beliefs, and Coping Skills—your ABCs.”
Scientists have looked and looked for common physical
traits for vital people in their hundreds. About all they have found is they
are physically active people who typically maintained a constant weight
their adult life. Their common attitudes include optimism, gratitude, and
embracing lifelong learning and change. Their common beliefs include
believing this is the best age of their life (so far) and the age they live
in is the best age (so far).
Their common coping skills include continually
renewing their sense of purpose, having a serenity about the deaths of
friends and family, being a lifelong learner, and effectively dealing with
change. They also figured out how to develop and sustain a rewarding
marriage or deal effectively with intimate relations beginning and ending.
They also are good at dealing with problems (vs. obsessing, procrastinating,
and holding on to grievances).
Dr. Michael Brickey described the anti-aging research,
theory and how with 4 Attitudes, 36 Beliefs, and 4 Coping Skills in his
Oprah-featured book, Defy Aging. His just released 52 baby steps
to Grow Young makes growing young even easier with 2-page-a-week little
changes that make a big difference.
