Our society worships at the fountain of youth. Each year, we try to
delay the arrival of old age, using everything at our disposal,
from extreme exercise and botox to pilates and cosmetic dentistry.
But in the process, are we missing out on a distinct and
extraordinarily valuable stage of life? Asking whether it is better
to be forever young or to grin toothlessly and live an authentic
old age, bestselling author Daniel Klein journeys to the Greek
island of Hydra. There he draws on the lives of octogenarian Greek
locals, as well as philosophers ranging from Epicurus to Sartre, to
discover the secrets of ageing happily. An escapist travel memoir,
a droll meditation, and an optimistic guide to living well, this is
a delightful jaunt through the terrain of old age, led by a witty
and uniquely perceptive modern-day sage.
