Kicking Stereotypes to the Curb with Ashton Applewhite
Manage episode 438521621 series 3598344
Ageism does its best to stereotype older women (and men) as invisible, unhappy, and dependent. The message is: "If you think life sucks now, just wait because the longer you live, the worse it's going to get." Yikes!But Ashton Applewhite, age advocate and author of "This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism," shakes down the myths of ageism and showers listeners with the facts. You may be surprised and definitely encouraged. Here are some facts that may surprise you:
- Only 2.5% of Americans 65+ live in nursing homes
- Older people enjoy better mental health than the young or middle-aged
- Serious mental decline is not an inevitable part of aging.
So, put in your earbuds and listen to my interview with Ashton Applewhite.
