Old Myths: Confronting Aging and Ageism

$10/$5 for BHS and G-W Members
With Baby Boomers aging, a new generation is confronted with the misconceptions older people face. Join Ashton Applewhite of This Chair Rocks, Ellen Cole, co-creator of 70 Candles, John Leland of The New York Times, and Dr. Veronica LoFaso, Director of Geriatric Medical Education at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, for a discussion about positive aging. Paula Span, “New Old Age” columnist for The New York Times, moderates.
Hello Henry,
We hope you will spread the word about this site to your friends in Hong Kong. We’d love to hear your stories.
How does our book, 70Candles! Women Thriving in Their 8th Decade, resonate with those who can read English?
Are there similar issues of concern? Similar hopes and pursuits?
You can find the book at taosinstitute.net/70Candles.
We hope you, and they, will let us know.
Thanks,
Jane and Ellen
I am from Hong Kong and aged 67. I came on to this webpage accidentally and found the website worthwhile and useful for senior citizens. Unfortunately there is no website of this nature here in HK where Chinese is the dialect. Thru reading a number of websites on positive aging, I am embarking on a course to practise positive aging. In HK there are info about this topic from both Chinese and English channels. I have earmarked this page and surely will look to this website for comments related to senior people. Good work.
