THE END OF OLD AGE Living a Longer, More Purposeful Life

Narrator Walter Dixon contributes a grounded, easy-to-hear performance that fits Marc Agronin's professional stature and message. The geriatric psychiatrist and WALL STREET JOURNAL contributor shows how people in their later years can shrug off decline and seize opportunities to live more fully. Dixon's relaxed confidence keeps listeners tuned in as the doctor's inspiring stories and advice unfold. The audio begins with Aristotelian questions about the purpose of old age, along with examples of people who give up on life in various ways. But the discussion eventually shifts into positive territory as we learn about the inspiring ways we can capitalize on late-life strengths and do some good in the world.
