Written by a 69 year old (my age) who was looking ahead to her potential in society over the next twenty years. Interesting and thought-provoking, but I am not sure how well her ideas travel from California (where I have lived) to UK. I resisted saying “Come on! Get over yourself!!”, because I think there was quite a lot for me to learn!

Very well written. Helps frame the questions about aging, while naming the lies and myths our society puts forward. This is a bold read that challenges our thinking, while empowering us to reach our fullest potential

We read this as a basis for topics in the writers group I belong to. It wasn't my "cup of tea". Most of the group really liked it though. There were some sections that resonated with me but for the most part I was not impressed
