Description: "In Western Culture people buy into the ageist idea that the young are expected to thrive, while aging adults are expected merely to survive. This poisonous thinking is perpetuated by the media, entertainment industry, business, and even our families, causing generations of older individuals to let go of their will to achieve fullest potential and resign to life on cruise control. Gerontologist Lori Campbell introduces us to an emerging trend called AgePotential, awakening us to the understanding that we all have the potential to thrive regardless of our chronological age or stage in life. As Campbell delves into the unique life paths of thrivers age fifty years and older, readers discover that they too can influence how they age, through the power of choice. Members of Generation AgePotential don't settle for the status quo -- instead, they take life by the reins and expect to live fulfilling lives to the end"--Www.agepotential.com, viewed March 4, 2013.
