Are you a young person? Middle-aged? Old? It doesn't really matter. Each
of us grows older every second. Most of us age without taking charge of
our life course, without a plan for our ageing. Each dip into these
short chapters offers some operating instructions for life, a guide to
engaging passionately with age.Dealing with a plethora of subjects, such
as health, happiness, loneliness, dementia, sex, gender, marriage,
abuse, respect, wage, wealth, class, and care, the book touches on how
ageing affects us as individuals and as a society. Through this, myths
and misconceptions on ageing are explored, urging us to rethink
attitudes and policies on ageing and ageing populations.
