A 21st Century Re-Think On Aging

It's Time To Ditch 20th Century Paradigms
Helen Hirsh Spence

How should we be looking at aging in the 21st century?

There are a lot of ways we could tackle that question.

We could come at it from the point of view of health and medical breakthroughs occurring continually around longevity.

We could examine the question by considering whether or not we shift our thinking around retirement.

Or, like our guest this week, we take on all of the challenges and throw in the elephant in the room – ageism – at the same time.

Helen Hirsh Spence is a retired Canadian educator, TedX Talks speaker, writer and blogger whose excellent website, TopSixtyOverSixty is packed with information on ageing in the 21st century.
