"Life is what you make it, has been, always will be" - Eleanor Roosevelt

Globally the population is ageing and with that our perspective on the ageing process is changing. As new life stages emerge they bring fresh opportunities, possibilities and exciting challenges for everyone. Accepting that we all age differently, the gift of healthier extended lifespans means later life can be the most creative, productive and enjoyable part of our lives - depending on our mindset!

The inspirational life stories in this book challenge the stereotype that advancing age means a narrowing down of life choices. The men and women you will meet here, whatever their age or circumstances, are expanding their horizons, moving out of their comfort zones, taking advantage of the opportunities around them, and creating their own reality. Inspired by their example, so can we!
