The Age of Ageing Better?

- Reviews -

Reading this book will help you prepare and understand better for your own future and make you realise that better ageing starts now. * Andrew Scott, co-author of 'The 100 Year Life' and 'The New Long Life' *
This is a very important book. * Sir Muir Gray *
This thoughtful and eminently readable book sets out a compelling vision for the future. It shows how the seismic 'age shift' we are experiencing can be a force for good if society adapts. * Baroness Sally Greengross, Chief Executive, International Longevity Centre UK *
With scarily prescient timing, Dr Anna Dixon has produced not just an incredible evidence-based survey of the reality of ageing in Britain today, but also a thought-provoking prescription of what a society that allowed us all to age well would look like. * Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow, Institute for Government *
Dr Anna Dixon offers a must-read - powerfully argued clarion call for urgent action on all fronts including health, paid work, social care and what we value as citizens to build a society in which ageing in the 21st century is a bonus not a burden. * Yvonne Roberts, Fellow of The Young Foundation *
Dr Anna Dixon has written a must-read for anyone interested in the future of ageing. Learn from one of the best informed about an issue, and opportunity, that is facing us all. * Andy Briggs, Head of FTSE 100 life insurer Phoenix Group *
In this important book for policymakers and informed citizens alike, Dr Anna Dixon makes clear that ageing has huge implications for every aspect of our lives. She lays out a strong vision for successful ageing and makes it clear that we have a choice. How we respond will determine whether we are all able to make the most of our longer lives. * Deb Whitman, Executive Vice President and Chief Public Policy Officer, AARP *
