In our busy and hurried lives, we are losing the ability to be inactive. Human existence becomes fully absorbed by activity – even leisure, treated as a respite from work, becomes part of the same logic. Intense life today means first of all more performance or more consumption. We have forgotten that it is precisely inactivity, which does not produce anything, that represents an intense and radiant form of life.

Western societies are staying healthy and living longer than ever before. Yet rather than focusing on the productive, rich, varied lives older people lead many dwell on the burden of ageing. In Praise of Ageing tells the stories of eight people who have lived well into their 90s and beyond. These people will inspire, entertain and motivate readers to be connected, interested, risk-taking and inventive. They will challenge existing preconceptions and they will convince anyone that 50 is now the start of the second half of life and not the beginning of the end.
