YOU’RE ONLY YOUNG TWICE

10 Do-Overs to Reawaken Your Spirit
by Ronda Beaman, EdD
ISBN: 1-889242-25-X; $14.95, paperback

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.

It is only those who get caught up in the material world the grow up. We were all put here to play and have fun, not try to impress others with money or objects. those of us that still have the heart of a child will always be a child.

You got it. Someone asked me if I was going thru my second childhood when I told 'em I was gonna start driving a truck. I reminded them I'd never finished my first childhood. To this day, I still say I'm gonna go play trucks.
