This chair rocks: a manifesto against ageism
(Large Print)
In this lively, entertaining book, Applewhite mixes her personal experiences and opinions about growing old with an exploration of society's attitudes about age, debunking myths and exposing ageism. Author (Cutting Loose) and blogger (Yo, Is This Ageist?) Applewhite uses an enormous number of sources, including books, interviews with experts, and research studies, to examine aging in America. She uncovers quite a few problems"I see ageism everywhere"and tempers them with recommendations for changing the conversation and inciting social change, suggesting ways to "push back" against, for example, antiaging rhetoric. She covers topics of all kinds, such as isolation (a fertile environment for disease), sex and intimacy, and the role of work and how companies can better accommodate older workers. She works hard to discuss and correct common misperceptions about aging. Her humor, high-energy writing, and emphasis on positive ways to view and experience age contribute to making this a valuable resource, an agent for social change, and an enjoyable read.
