Story
Die Sorge um die alt werdenden Eltern ist eine der großen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Familienstrukturen haben sich aufgelöst, das Leben in der globalisierten Welt fordert maximale Flexibilität und Mobilität. Die wenigsten von uns sind darauf vorbereitet, plötzlich für gebrechliche Menschen da sein zu müssen. Pflege reißt Lücken in unsere Lebensläufe und konfrontiert uns mit uns selbst. Dies umso mehr, wenn die Eltern den Zweiten Weltkrieg erlebt haben und in ihrer Seele unaufgearbeitete Traumata verbergen, die oft über Generationen nachwirken.

Story
Eigentlich hatte Didier Eribon sich vorgenommen, ab jetzt regelmäßig nach Fismes zu fahren. Doch seine Mutter stirbt wenige Wochen nach ihrem Umzug in ein Pflegeheim in dem kleinen Ort in der Champagne. Wie in Rückkehr nach Reims wird dieser Einschnitt zum Ausgangspunkt für eine Reise in die Vergangenheit. Eribon rekonstruiert die von Knappheit und Zwängen bestimmte Biografie einer Frau, die an einen brutalen Ehemann gekettet blieb und sich sogar in ihren Träumen bescheiden musste. "Meine Mutter", hält er fest, "war ihr ganzes Leben lang unglücklich."

Story
"Älter werden wir alle, auf das Wie kommt es an." Wie es gelingt, geistig jung, gesund und voller Elan zu bleiben, lebt uns Dr. med. Marianne Koch vor. "Erfolgreich altern" nennt sie das, und was alles dazugehört, erzählt sie hier. Marianne Koch beleuchtet physiologische wie psychische Aspekte, die das Altern mit sich bringt. Sie geht auf das Selbstbewusstsein ein, auf Ernährung und Bewegung, auf lebenslanges Lernen, das Problem der Einsamkeit, den Umgang mit Verlusten und zeigt, wie wichtig es ist, die Lust am Neuen nicht zu verlieren. Am Ende steht die Frage: Wer bin ich heute - und wer möchte ich morgen sein?

Story
We’re so afraid of aging that we begin to devalue ourselves and others with each passing year. The words "30 years old" incites panic. Seniors live in separate communities, and they barely interact with young people, while middle-aged people spend millions each year on anti-aging products. But what if we have it all wrong?

You are not alone! Over 15.7 million people today are caring for a loved one with dementia. As caregivers, it’s easy for us to feel isolated. If you’re weary of the heartache and losses you both suffer, of the restless nights and chaotic days, then you know that our frustrations, helplessness, and fear can drive us to our knees. Dementia is cruel. But the caregiving journey that we are on also offers unexpected, uplifting gifts: profound personal insight; explosive spiritual growth; and discovery of our deepest self....

Story
Erst im Alter sind wir richtig jung! Wenn Jugend bedeutet, unbeschwert auf alles zuzugehen, mutig und neugierig zu sein, dann stellt sich die Frage: Wann haben wir das wirklich gelebt? Mit 20, als wir hin- und hergerissen waren, wo die Reise hingeht? Mit 30, als Stress und schlaflose Nächte uns erschöpften? Mit 40 oder 50, als Gewohnheiten vermeintliche Sicherheit vermittelten? Tatsache ist: Die Zeit von 60 bis 90 Jahren ist genauso lang wie die von 30 bis 60 - JETZT ist die Zeit, in der wir jung sein können.

Story
Andy Lazris, MD, is a practicing primary care physician who experiences the effects of Medicare policy on a daily basis. As a result, he believes that the way we care for our elderly has taken a wrong turn and that Medicare is complicit in creating the very problems it seeks to solve. Aging is not a disease to be cured; it is a life stage to be lived. Lazris argues that aggressive treatments cannot change that fact but only get in the way and decrease quality of life.

By 2035, 11.5 million Americans will be over the age of 85 - more than double today's five million - and living longer than ever before. To enable all of us to age with dignity and security in the face of this coming Age Wave, our society must learn to value the care of our elders. The process of building a culture that supports care is a key component to restoring the American dream and, as Ai-Jen Poo convincingly argues, will generate millions of new jobs and breathe new life into our national ideals of independence, justice, and dignity.

The budget battles of recent years have amplified the warnings of demographic doomsayers who predicted that a wave of baby boomers would bleed America dry, bankrupting Social Security and Medicare as they faded into an impoverished old age. On the contrary, argues award-winning journalist Chris Farrell, we are instead on the verge of a broad, positive transformation of our economy and society.
