The Ten Steps of Positive Ageing is literally life-changing! -- Louise Ansari The Centre for Ageing Better
Our ageing and our longer lives are too often seen as problems rather than opportunities. It is good to have a book that makes the ‘case for the defence’. In his new book The Ten Steps of Positive Ageing, Guy Robertson sets out a balanced view of the plusses and minuses of ageing. -- Baron Filkin (CBE) former Chair of the Centre for Ageing Better
