We begin aging at birth. So, when do we start thinking about aging, about getting older? Is it when we begin to see wrinkles forming on our faces or see our muscles sagging? What are our reactions to these changes? How do these physical changes influence our response to them? Are we horrified by them or do we take them in stride?How does our culture, our society react to people showing signs of aging? These are the questions which are addressed in this book. Many of the answers are not pretty. How do we change the paradigm? Instead of the dread of aging, how do we get to the joy of aging? The good, the bad and the ugly are discussed.How does our culture deal with the aging process and what impact does it have on us at a personal level? How do those of us who have gotten to the mature stage of our lives deal with the rapid technological changes which bombard us? How does youth view us and how do we interact with the young ones among us? How do we bridge the age gap as more of us are living longer lives than our ancestors?This book is intended to be inspirational in nature. Vignettes and true stories are used to illustrate and illuminate the highlighted points. Practical suggestions are made to change the aging narrative and to bridge the gap between the young people in our culture and their elders. Some of the solutions are amazingly simple. It is a relatively quick read, but one you will not want to miss.
