An essential roadmap to ageing well that's full of good sense and optimismIrish Examiner
Professor Rose Anne Kenny reveals in her new book what you should do now to change the rest of your lifeThe Times
'A very readable and stimulating survey of ageing, strong both on the science of ageing, and on our experiences of getting older. It is wide ranging, blending succinct descriptions of the biological, social and psychological underpinnings of the ageing process with practical advice about how to age in a healthier way, covering issues such as exercise, mindfulness, diet, and the maintenance of social relationships and engagement with life. I can highly recommend this book'Professor Andrew Steptoe, Professor of Psychology and Epidemiology, UCL and Director of English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
