This is the second in a series of interesting interviews conducted by our very own Jon Keith (Director of Marketing at Still Hopes). From time-to-time Jon will share his Interviews & Insights that will include audio recordings of his broadcasts on Public Radio.
This is Part 2 of my interview with Dr. Gene Cohen. We have had lot of positive feedback about this interview. We had one person order his book for her son’s birthday. There are a lot of books out now to help baby boomers deal with how to slow the physical aging process or how to have a financially secure retirement. However, Dr. Gene Cohen chooses a unique direction: he shows how to be a creative individual well into old age. Replete with anecdotes of famous and not-so-famous people doing incredibly creative things (e.g., architect I.M. Pei designing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum at 79), whether for the good of humanity or simply for their own families, the book The Creative Age: Awakening Human Potential in the Second Half of Life.
At the time of our conversation, Dr. Cohen was director of the Center on Aging, Health and Humanities at George Washington University. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2009, but his wit, humor and intellect still shines through in this interview I had with him. I hope you enjoy it.
