Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old?: The Path of Purposeful Aging

“[A] valuable guide . . . The authors’ gentle tone and many helpful suggestions will make readers feel as if they are listening to a close friend.” —Publishers Weekly This is a book about how to grow old—with the emphasis on “grow.” The path of purposeful aging is accessible to all—and it’s fundamental to health, happiness, and longevity. In their bestseller Repacking Your Bags, Richard J. Leider and David A. Shapiro defined the good life as living in the place you belong, with people you love, doing the right work, on purpose. This book builds on that definition to offer a purposeful path for living well while aging well. With a focus on developing and deepening a sense of purpose in later life, Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old? celebrates the experience of aging with inspiring stories, real-world practices, and provocative questions. Framed by a long conversation between two old friends, the book reconceives aging as a liberating experience that enables us to become more authentically the person we always meant to be with each passing year. “In a culture that offers little guidance for growing old, but excels at pushing elders aside, here’s a book that will help us age into the fullness of life.” —Parker J. Palmer, author of On the Brink of Everything
