Life expectancy has skyrocketed, with the UK having more people over 65 than under 16! By 2050, a third of the developed world will be seniors. This demographic shift presents both challenges and opportunities.
Renowned biologist Lewis Wolpert, himself in his eighties, delves into the science behind ageing. He explores the societal consequences, from ageism to euthanasia, and even analyzes the (often ineffective) anti-aging creams.
Wolpert’s witty and frank approach makes this an engaging investigation into ageing. He not only tackles the phenomenon but also reflects on his own experience, offering a thought-provoking exploration of “looking very well” – not just in appearance, but in how we approach this extended chapter of life.
