Overview

Drawing from popular culture, history, science, a nd literature, a passionate and persuasive case is made for removing our ageist blinders and seeing old age as a developmental stage of life.

Synopsis

We live in a society that opposes aging, despite the evidence that each of us is, in fact, aging. This anti-aging bias has prevented us from thinking about old age in a way that feels good or that will create a good elderhood. Removing our ageist blinders, Dr. Thomas provides a motivational and visionary blueprint for old age as a healing force in society.
