Enjoy Life: A Practical Guide to Living Better and Longer

Enjoy Life is Dr. Julián Melgosa’s guide to living well in the later stages of life. Its premise is that living longer is only half the achievement; the other half is adding life to those years. It covers physical health, emotional wellbeing, relationships and purpose, with practical strategies for each.

What’s inside Enjoy Life

The book treats ageing as a stage to plan for rather than endure. Melgosa covers the health habits that matter most after sixty, the emotional adjustments retirement brings, the importance of relationships, and the question of purpose — what a life is for once work no longer answers that.

It is illustrated and practical, in the Safeliz style, and it is written for the person ageing rather than for their children.

• Practical strategies for healthy ageing
• Maintaining emotional and mental wellbeing
• Lifestyle habits that support long-term health
• Finding purpose and fulfilment in later life
• Building and keeping relationships
• Written for the reader, not about them

For anyone approaching or in retirement, and for adult children looking for something to give a parent that is not about decline. It is used in seniors’ ministry and it is a common gift for a retirement.
