Reclaim Your Right to Grow Old

Reclaim Your Right to Grow Old

Ranked #3 by Kindle books in the "aging" category.

Thank heaven youth and middle age are behind you. Now you can concentrate on yourself. And celebrate, indulge in and be enthralled by the most significant experience you will have as a human being: the process of growing old.

Our culture says the best way to deal with aging is to fight it. Look young, act young, feel young, they tell you, for as long as you can.

But when it comes to crafting a blueprint for successful aging, society seems to be lagging behind modern science and far behind the philosophies of our ancestors. Leading-edge gerontologists are now discovering wisdom revealed centuries ago: that old age may be the most important stage in the human lifecycle.

In Reclaim Your Right to Grow Old, Kathleen O'Brien takes you on her journey into ancient philosophy, ground-breaking science and our culture’s misconceptions about aging.
