«A joyfully affirming book [that] dispels myths about aging» - Daily Mail
Carl Honoré, who captured the zeitgeist with his international bestseller, In Praise of Slow, now introduces us to another emerging movement: a revolution in our attitude towards aging.
Aging is inevitable. In this era of increased life expectancy, however, we have the opportunity to age better than ever. With journeys around the world to meet pioneers who are revolutionizing aging, Carl Honoré explores the cultural, medical, and technological trends that will help us make the most of our time.
He shows us that it's time to discard prejudices and blur the boundaries of what is possible at any age. We can overturn the old script that locks us into learning at the start of life, working in the middle years, and leisure with whatever time remains at the end.
Instead, we can learn, work, rest, care for others, volunteer, create, and enjoy ourselves throughout our lives. Bolder is a radical rethinking of our approach to everything from education, healthcare, and work, to design, relationships, and politics. An essential and inspiring book to help us all make aging an asset rather than a burden.
