| Description: | A deep and thoughtful look at what it means to age, how to do it well and why we care at all <p>Society has a deep fear of ageing. Old age is increasingly viewed as a biomedical problem, something to be avoided at all costs and then vanished away by medicine. Anne Karpf urges us to change our narrative. Exploring how our outlook on ageing is historically determined and culturally defined, she draws upon case studies, old and new, to suggest how ageing can be an actively enriching time of immense growth. She argues that if we can recognize growing older as an inevitable part of the human condition, then the great challenge of ageing turns out to be none other than the challenge of living.<br><br> One in the new series of books from The School of Life, launched January 2014:<br><br> <i>How to Age</i> by Anne Karpf<br><br> <i>How to Develop Emotional Health</i> by Oliver James<br><br> <i>How to Be Alone </i>by Sara Maitland<br><br> <i>How to Deal with Adversity</i> by Christopher Hamilton<br><br> <i>How to Think About Exercise</i> by Damon Young<br><br> <i>How to Connect with Nature </i>by Tristan Gooley</p> |
