Each of us has different expectations about old age, often thinking about this period of life in very negative terms. American scientist Alan D. Castel, who studies aging at the University of California, convincingly argues that old age may well be the happiest time. Based on modern scientific research and development, it provides a set of fairly simple but effective tools that allow you to create in your head the correct image of old age, which does not exclude optimism, physical and social activity, a bright and rich life. Since, as Alan D. Castel attests, preparing for old age must begin early, the book will be of interest to readers of all ages.
