Description

IF YOU'RE ALIVE, YOU'RE AGING. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

WE'RE BOMBARDED DAILY with cultural messages telling us that to age means simply to deteriorate and decline. While it's true that our bodies and minds change with the passage of time, not all these changes are negative ones. In fact, there are some wonderful assets to getting older.

Social gerontologist and community educator Jeanette Leardi believes it's way past time that everyone hears that story.

She draws on groundbreaking research, expert opinions, and personal experiences to bust the many false stereotypes about age and provides you with surprising, refreshing, "sideways" approaches for embracing getting older as well as for changing the minds of others in your life in the hope that all of us can transform our society into a truly pro-aging one - now and for generations to come.
