Riassunto

Respected psychologist and guru Dorothy Rowe examines our negative attitudes towards growing older and offers a wiser, more hopeful, more life-enhancing approach to the passing of time

We all fear growing older. Whether we are nine and dreading leaving childhood, in our late twenties and dreading thirty, or dreading being a really old person, we all share a horror of growing up, getting old and being past our best.

Dorothy Rowe has listened to people aged from five to ninety-five talk about how they view growing older, and has looked at societies where the old are revered and respected, and societies like our own where they are not. She finds that our fears of growing older far outweigh the real difficulties, most of which could be ameliorated were we to look at life sensibly – which we often fail to do.

But we can change, and we can learn to see things differently. Dorothy Rowe, as usual, offers a distillation of wisdom which teaches and illuminates, providing hope and a new way of looking at the future.
