We may think we know what lies ahead: a grim slide into depression, dementia and dependence. But that’s just the party line, and author and activist Ashton Applewhite debunks it in spades. Part monologue, part consciousness-raiser, This Chair Rocks dispels myth after myth about late life and proposes an alternative to worrying about getting old: wake up to the ageist messages that frame two thirds of our lives as decline, cheer up and push-back. It’s time to work together to make discrimination on the basis of age as unacceptable as any other prejudice.
