CARL Honoré introduces us in his new book Bolder to a revolutionary approach to ageing.

Ageing is inevitable; that is a given. In this time of longer lifespans, however, we have the potential to age better than ever before.

Honoré has travelled the world to meet the pioneers who are redefining ageing, exploring the cultural, medical and technological trends that will help us make the most of our longer lives.

The result is a radical re-think of our approach to everything from education, healthcare and work, to design, relationships and politics.

Bolder shows us that the time has come to cast off prejudices and blur the lines of what is possible at every age.

We can tear up the old script that locks us into learning in early life, working in the middle years and pursuing leisure with whatever time is left at the end.

Instead, we can learn, work, rest, care for others, volunteer, create and have fun all the way through our lives.

Bolder is an inspiring read to help all of us make ageing a bonus rather than a burden.

Published by Simon & Schuster, Bolder is available in hardback, paperback and ebook. RRP$35.00
