Pleasant, meandering tour of the idea of how to live a good life and not be upset about aging and decay. Lots of quotes from literature and philosophy, nicely woven together. A very light read. ( ) This book takes a positive stance on growing older by situating aging on the continuum of human experience and reminding the reader that it is a natural part of life. I wish the author would spend more time than just one chapter exploring why age discrimination targets women more than men. Otherwise, it is a good, brief book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Society has a deep fear of ageing. Old age is increasingly viewed as a biomedical problem, something to be avoided at all costs and then vanished away by medicine. Anne Karpf urges us to change our narrative. Exploring how our outlook on ageing is historically determined and culturally defined, she draws upon case studies, old and new, to suggest how ageing can be an actively enriching time of immense growth. She argues that if we can recognize growing older as an inevitable part of the human condition, then the great challenge of ageing turns out to be none other than the challenge of living.
