Description
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. This book 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. It explores a few of the mysteries and miracles of life, and some of its myths. It encourages us to cope creatively with the mundaneness of our continuing life. The author invites you to join her as she delves into these questions about life and ageing with curiosity and contemplation, and with a sense of awe and adventure.Contents: Body: Age & Replace Age & Pace Age & Real Age Age & Damage Age & Haze Age & Rage Age, Sex & Porn Age & Eternity Age & Frailty Age & Health Mind & Spirit: Age & Alone Age & Create Age & Daze Age & Smarts Age & Fear of Crime Age & Haha Culture: Age & Wager Age & Face Age & Sage Age & Gender Age in Place Age & Marriage Age & Ageism Age & Abuse Age & Respect Age & Apocalypse Age & Adage Age & Death Economy: Age & Wage Age & Next Gen Age & Leverage Age, Wealth & Health Age, Place & Class Age & Care Age & Security Age & Laze Age & Silver Economy Readership: General Public.

It is written for all genders to help the reader understand and embrace the inevitable ageing process.
