Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Age of Ageing Better? by Dr Anna Dixon, read by Gabrielle Glaister.
The Age of Ageing Better? takes a radically different view of what our ageing society means. Dr Anna Dixon turns the misleading and depressing narrative of burden and massive extra cost of people living longer on its head and shows how our society could thrive if we started thinking differently.
This audiobook shines a spotlight on how as a society we’re currently failing to respond to the shifting age profile - and what needs to change. Examining key areas of society including health, financial security, where and how people live and social connections, Anna Dixon presents a refreshingly optimistic vision for the future that could change the way we value later life in every sense.

"A very important book." (Sir Muir Gray)
"Reading this book will help you prepare and understand better for your own future and make you realise that better ageing starts now." (Andrew Scott, co-author of The 100 Year Life and The New Long Life)
