This important book redefines the concept of 'successful' ageing, challenging the idea that physical health is the sole measure of ageing and that an ageing population is a societal burden. Using Sen’s Capability Approach as a theoretical basis, the book offers a nuanced perspective, emphasizing resilience and the experiences of older people in determining what it means to age well. It provides a comprehensive response to the common belief that successful ageing is solely about diet and exercise, acknowledging that well-being extends beyond the physical, especially when older individuals may not be able to follow such advice. This timely book will be valuable for students of gerontology and social care, as well as professionals in the field.
