How to do grow old

One of my favourite things about the new book from philosopher David Shapiro and purpose-guru Richard Leider, is the title. They had to fight with their publishers to keep the dreaded word ‘old’ on the cover. Which sums up the challenge we collectively face. Our dread of the word, and our inevitable arrival at its door.

The title summarises the book’s entire premise in a wise and witty way (the authors are in their 60s and 70s). It riffs off the annoying question (‘what do you want to do when you grow up?’) that children are asked by adults confronted with making conversation with small humans (similar to women’s most-hated career interview question, ‘where do you see yourself in five years?’). Then, in a sleight of wordsmithing, transforms it into a more profound question.
