A new way to think about ageing - for ourselves and the people we love. With warmth and wisdom, geriatrician Dr Lucy Pollock shows us how
'The Golden Rule is part manifesto for better integration and appreciation between generations, and part reflection on a career spent looking after our elders, [. . .] with good humour, sanity, wisdom and quite a few jokes' The Times

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.

'From the first pages, the impression you have is how much you'd want Pollock as your medical practitioner. . . this warm and compassionate book is part reflection, part rallying cry to set in place a better society for older people' Daily Mail
'Beautiful and wise, filled with characters I know living through situations I recognise, filtered through the kindness of thoughtful storytelling' Kathryn Mannix, author of With the End in Mind
