I still haven\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>He arrived in a box of cassette tapes my husband handed me when I was struggling with something that probably sounds familiar to anyone who has ever started a business: believing enough in the value of what I was doing to ask someone else to pay for it.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired, I started building my business, one sponsor at a time. Tony\u2019s words rang in my ears in those early days and provided a catalyst for me to move to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, I was thrilled to learn about his new book, Unshakeable: Your Financial Freedom Playbook. We featured Tony on the cover of Healthy Aging\u00ae Magazine that spring.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2026 \u2026 and here he is again.<\/p>\n<p>This time, Tony is back with a newly updated edition of Awaken the Giant Within, the book that has challenged millions of people to take a closer look at what they want from life\u2014and what they\u2019re willing to do to get there.<\/p>\n<p>There is still much to learn from Tony. Hopefully, you\u2019ll be inspired by our feature article \u2026 and his book, of course, too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17890\" src=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Tony-Robbins-Fall-Cover-fall-2026-650F.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Tony-Robbins-Fall-Cover-fall-2026-650F.jpg 650w, https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Tony-Robbins-Fall-Cover-fall-2026-650F-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>And since this Fall issue arrives during September Is Healthy Aging\u00ae Month, it seems like an especially good time to think about what we might still want to learn, try, change or do next.<\/p>\n<p>Along with such kick-in-the-butt inspiration on how you can live life to its fullest, you\u2019ll discover plenty of other ideas in this issue on how to age healthfully\u2014from saying no to drugs and overcoming pain and stiffness without them to finding purpose later in life, starting a new career, tackling the whys and why-nots of decluttering, discovering the benefits of chair yoga, and knowing what Medicare decisions you may need to make for 2027.<\/p>\n<p>We also give a big nod to the next generation \u2026 with ideas on how to be a better grandparent, demystifying the myriad of school choices so you can talk intelligently about them (if asked), preserving family history, helping build a healthier relationship with technology and, quite frankly, being a positive influence in your grandchild\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>And for fun, we tackle how you can create memories while keeping precious family bonds strong in The Family Vacation Grows Up.<\/p>\n<p>For you foodies, we want to share two new cookbooks that I predict will become dog-eared and stained because you\u2019ll use them so much.<\/p>\n<p>Dig In! Over 100 Easy, Delicious and Stress-Free Recipes to Make on Repeat by Erin O\u2019Brien earned a front-row spot on my shelf for its many recipes I\u2019ve tried several times\u2014all perfect for family gatherings, guests, or when it\u2019s just you alone or with your significant other. Yes, you will definitely \u201cmake them on repeat!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My favorites include One-Pan Sicilian Baked Cod with Roasted Tomatoes &amp; Olives, Seared Scallops with White Wine Butter Sauce &amp; Crispy Pancetta, and No Mayo Esquites (Mexican Street Corn).<\/p>\n<p>The second is More Please! Feel-Good Meals for Busy Families and Their Picky Eaters by Rachel Mansfield. I loved her Yogurt-Marinated Chicken Skewers served with two sauces.<\/p>\n<p>And, for those who celebrate family rituals as we do, such as the family dinner, you\u2019ll love John Ota\u2019s article on his search for the perfect dining room. His odyssey stirred up my own reflections on our family\u2019s dining room and the experiences around that table \u2013 both growing up and as a parent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love the dining room!\u201d he explains \u2026 and so do we. Some say the dining room is dead\u2014not for him and not for us!<\/p>\n<p>So, we hope you enjoy the latest issue of Healthy Aging\u00ae Magazine as much as we did putting it all together.<\/p>\n<p>Happy fall!<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12082 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Carolyn-Worthington-bio-newsletter.jpg\" alt=\"Carolyn Worthington publisher Healthy Aging Magazine\" width=\"182\" height=\"182\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/carolyn-signature-HealthyAgingNewsletter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2476\" src=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/carolyn-signature-HealthyAgingNewsletter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"110\" height=\"75\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Subscribers<\/h3>\n<p>Subscribers can log in at any time from any page of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Healthy Aging<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0website,<\/a>\u00a0top right corner.<\/p>\n<h3>Not a Subscriber?<\/h3>\n<p>Click here and join the Healthy Aging\u00a9 audience!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SUBSCRIBE!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Do\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/healthy-aging-newsletter-signup-form\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sign up for our\u00a0newsletter<\/a> and send us an email at <a href=\"http:\/\/info@healthyaging.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">info@healthyaging.net<\/a>with what you\u2019d like to see us cover.<\/p>\n<p>And please let us know what you think on our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HealthyAgingMagazine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook page.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Letter from the publisher, Carolyn Worthington<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17893,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[222,224],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fall-2026","category-fall-2026-columns"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17748"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17748\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17887,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17748\/revisions\/17887"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
