Never Say Die by Susan Jacoby
The Myth and Marketing of the New Old Age
In this thought-provoking exploration of aging, the author challenges the pervasive myths and societal narratives surrounding old age, advocating for a more realistic and honest conversation about the inevitable decline that accompanies it. Through a blend of personal anecdotes, historical context, and critical analysis, the book delves into the cultural obsession with youth and the often unrealistic expectations placed on the elderly. It calls for a shift in perspective, urging society to embrace the complexities of aging with dignity and to recognize the value and wisdom that come with life's later stages.
