Looks at how people can approach, prepare and deal with mid-life and ageing, and the ways in which ageing and old age can be constructive and rewarding. Drawing on medical psychotherapeutic and sociological sources as well as on literature, the press and biography, the author presents an informative and entertaining account of the human experience of ageing and how it has been viewed by society and the media in times past. The book also includes personal interviews, including well-known figures like Helen Mirren, John Cleese, John Updike and Julie Christie, who have found positive ways of making the transition.
