Old Age Health

You wake up one day and realise something unsettling… You are the same age as old people. Not in theory. Not someday. Now. And yet—inside? Nothing feels quite the same as the number suggests. It’s Weird Being the Same Age as Old People is a refreshingly honest, sharply observed guide to navigating the strange, often funny, occasionally uncomfortable reality of midlife and beyond. This isn’t a book about “anti-ageing.” And it’s not a quiet surrender either. It’s about the gap—between how old you are… and how old you actually feel.

The fear of growing old is a universal burden. Here’s the book you need to ensure that you move into and through old age with grit and grace. Fr. John LaFarge shows you how to conquer any fear of aging and how to make your golden years the best years of your life. At age 84, Fr. LaFarge was struck by the many advantages and blessings of aging, and he observed that modern men and women have lost touch with the traditional view of old age as the crowning summit of life. Seeing old age instead as a calamity, he says, is what makes aging such a misery for many.
