The Age of Ageing Better?

Reviews

Reading this book will help you prepare and understand better for your own future and make you realise that better ageing starts now. This is a very important book. This thoughtful and eminently readable book sets out a compelling vision for the future. It shows how the seismic 'age shift' we are experiencing can be a force for good if society adapts. With scarily prescient timing, Dr Anna Dixon has produced not just an incredible evidence-based survey of the reality of ageing in Britain today, but also a thought-provoking prescription of what a society that allowed us all to age well would look like. Dr Anna Dixon offers a must-read - powerfully argued clarion call for urgent action on all fronts including health, paid work, social care and what we value as citizens to build a society in which ageing in the 21st century is a bonus not a burden. Dr Anna Dixon has written a must-read for anyone interested in the future of ageing. Learn from one of the best informed about an issue, and opportunity, that is facing us all. In this important book for policymakers and informed citizens alike, Dr Anna Dixon makes clear that ageing has huge implications for every aspect of our lives. She lays out a strong vision for successful ageing and makes it clear that we have a choice. How we respond will determine whether we are all able to make the most of our longer lives. A sobering view of a barren future, but one Dr Dixon believes can be avoided if we as a nation start planning now Expand reviews
