Even though there are more older people than ever today, aging can be difficult. According to MT Connolly, author and MacArthur Genius award winner, it doesn’t have to be this hard. She believes that our society has failed to build the infrastructure we need to age well, and that we should all work to change the culture and embrace the many positive aspects of aging.
Her book, The Measure of Our Age, examines the systems that have both helped and harmed us so we can embrace or avoid them as we age.
