This book is a series of twelve profound conversations with some of the foremost elder changemakers in the fields of aging and longevity, and it captures the essence of their wisdom and perspectives. Subjects include the individual, social, and systemic dimensions of equity and inequity; averting a new era of mass elder poverty; the efficacy of today’s healthcare system for the chronic health challenges of older adults and their families; ageism in the media and popular culture; and the purposeful opportunities and obligations of today’s and tomorrow’s elders. Each leader candidly reflects on their origins, the fields of aging and longevity, and considers their own aging. This book is of high interest to readers young and old, as we all must come to terms with our aging and the legacies we choose to leave behind. It has the potential to change readers’ views on the future of their studies, their work, and their lives.
