Critics Review
”[A] quietly ambitious book … both fascinating and, ultimately, optimistic.” -P.S. Cottier, Canberra Times
”[T]he message that we each hold the reins to success in life’s third trimester is a refreshing tonic in a world awash with quack rejuvenants.” –Paul Biegler, Sydney Morning Herald“A navigation system for the second life that lies ahead.” –De Morgen“An entertaining and revealing book about our delayed ageing and death, about astonishing future prospects and the lack of simple measures to prevent diseases such as dementia.” –De Volkskrant“One by one, Westendorp demolishes ingrained ideas about old age and ageing. He offers a brand new perspective on old age.” –Het Belang van Limburg“This is not a glib book about searching for the elixir of youth in a jar or via surgical means, but a serious study, albeit in easy-to-read prose. There’s no prescription to prevent mental and physical impairment, but a wide-ranging survey that encompasses societal and economic as well as personal responsibilities to prolong productivity.” –Thuy On, The Age“Westendorp stresses above all the positive aspects of the fact that we are living to an increasingly advanced age. He also explains with great clarity how we can gain control of our long lives.” –Trouw
