PSYCHOLOGY OF AGEING: An-IndIgenous-Global Guide through Attitude Behavioural Theory (ABT)

Ageing remains one of the most revealing stages of human development.

It is the point where knowledge, belief, and behaviour converge to test the maturity of the soul.

In writing this book, my conviction has been that **education must serve the moral and attitudinal growth of humanity**, not just its intellectual expansion.

This text embodies that conviction.

It offers a synthesis of psychology, spirituality, and indigenous philosophy through the **Attitude Behavioural Theory (ABT)**.

Students, counsellors, and administrators who study this work will find not only concepts but *convictions* — principles that can reform institutions, communities, and individual lives.

Ageing, as revealed here, is a mirror through which society views its own moral development.

May every reader find in these pages the wisdom to live, to teach, and to age gracefully.
