Learning how to age well is one of the challenges of getting older. A new book reviewed by Katharine Whitehorn in the Observor on Sunday 29th August, Crazy Age: Thoughts on Being Old by Jane Miller, reveals there is much more to old age than fraility and loneliness. For many people, who put their head in the sand about getting older, this book shows there is less to fear and much to look forward to. As we age we do have to adjust to some losses, but we also gain much in terms of new experiences, a maturing outlook and perspective, and the development of a different mind set about what matters in life. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/aug/29/jane-miller-on-old-age
