GENINT 741.560
Osher (50+). In this course, Andrea Giliats shares insights and reads excerpts from Radical Endurance: Growing Old in an Age of Longevity.
About this course:
Andrea Gilats’s memoir, Radical Endurance: Growing Old in an Age of Longevity, has been praised as “a must-read for anyone who is aging (which is all of us).” In this course, she shares insights from Radical Endurance to offer new ways of living a rich life in old age. Topics include: the transition from older to old, facing new realities about the health of our bodies and minds, preserving our independence through as much of our late life as possible, thriving through what could be surprising long futures, and ageism in ourselves and others. Andrea also reads short but inspiring stories about interesting old people and welcomes questions and stories, both about Radical Endurance and about writing about your own life. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to the video for 30 days.Corporate Education
