The Age of Ageing Better?: A Manifesto for Our Future

Dr Anna Dixon turns the misleading and depressing narrative of the burden and massive extra cost of people living longer on its head and provides a refreshingly optimistic view of how everyone could enjoy a better later life.

The Age of Ageing Better? takes a radically different view of what our aging society means. Dr Anna Dixon turns the misleading and depressing narrative of burden and massive extra cost of people living longer on its head and provides a refreshingly optimistic view of how everyone could enjoy a better later life.

This book shines a spotlight on how as a society we're failing to respond to aging--and what needs to change to ensure later lives become better for everyone. Examining key areas of society that need to change
including health, financial security, where and how people live, and social connections, Anna Dixon presents a strongly optimistic picture of how thinking differently could change the way we value later life in every sense.
