‘A joyously life-enhancing reserve [that] shatters the myths about ageing’ Daily Email

Carl Honoré captured the zeitgeist with his worldwide sensation, In Compliment of Gradual. In Bolder, he presents us to some other rising movement: a trend in our approach to ageing.

Ageing is inevitable. In this time of much longer lifespans, however, we’ve the to age much better than ever before..Read More on the subject of Bolder Having travelled the world to meet the pioneers who are redefining ageing, Carl Honoré explores the cultural, medical and technological styles that will help us take full advantage of our longer lives. He displays us that the time has come to solid off prejudices and blur the lines of what’s possible at every age group. We can tear up the old script that locks us into learning in early life, working in the center years and pursuing discretion with whatever time is left by the end. Instead, we can find out, work, rest, care for others, volunteer, create and have fun all the way through our lives.
