An empowering manifesto, examining and disassembling age discrimination with wit and energy, calling for us to embrace and celebrate ageing. In our youth-obsessed culture, we're bombarded by media images and messages about the despair and decline of our later years. Beauty and pharmaceuti- cal companies work overtime to convince people to purchase products that will retain their youthful appearance and vital- ity. Wrinkles are embarrassing. Grey hair should be coloured and bald heads hid- den. Older minds and bodies are too frail to keep up with the pace of the modern working world and elders should just step aside for the new generation.
