Plan A: stay young forever
Plan B: read this book
Today, we are living longer lives and have choices now as never before about how we will age.
What will make us happy?
What frightens us, and what might allay our fears?
What changes, made right now, will help us to flourish?
In The Golden Rule, Dr Lucy Pollock shares lessons she has learned in the thirty years of working with older people and their family and friends.
She explores problems that can be fixed with tests and tablets, and problems that require a different sort of medicine.
These engrossing stories explain what she has been taught about impossible families, important decisions, becoming older without children, sexuality, race, love, and living with uncertainty.
