Features

  • Mythbusting old-age adages

    You don’t need as much sleep as you age; you will inevitably get dementia if you live long enough; older people shouldn’t exercise strenuously for fear of injury. We grow up hearing such tropes, but many of them are not borne out in science.
     

  • Memoir writing: Cathartic and stimulating

    For Tony Cond, writing a memoir was revelatory. “I’ve had a really good life,” he realized upon its completion. “This book is a culmination of me being able to say that to myself.” 

    One could do worse than having that kind of insight after revisiting the past.

  • Surrendering the keys

    How do you know it’s time to hang up the car keys for good? Is it when you hit 80? When you’ve had a stroke? When your kids sit you down and say, “You need to call it quits”? 

    Turns out it could be any or none of the above.

  • Saving memories for the future

    Most of us of a certain age have treasured photo albums, with perhaps a few shoe boxes full of loose memories. And what about those tapes or reels you can no longer play because you don’t have the applicable player?
