Synopsis
The half a million copy bestseller from Japan.
What if everything you’ve been told about ageing is wrong?
Age eighty is a turning point. It is the threshold at which most people will experience physical ailments and might even need everyday support and long-term care.
Dr Hideki Wada, one of Japan’s leading geriatric psychiatrists, argues that rigid discipline and restrictions diminish quality of life. In Life Beyond 80, he distills thirty-five years of experience into a comforting but practical framework that demystifies cognitive decline, shows you how to achieve a healthy balance between laying down rules and letting go and paves the way for emotional fulfillment and personal agency.
This counterintuitive guide tackles the fears and anxieties of ageing head on, offering a liberating, but science-informed approach to living your fourth act instead of just surviving it.
