* BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK *

Carl Honoré captured the zeitgeist with his international sensation, In Praise of Slow. In Bolder, he introduces us to another rising movement: a revolution in our approach to ageing.
 
Ageing is inevitable. In this time of longer lifespans, however, we have the potential to age better than ever before. Having travelled the globe to meet the pioneers who are redefining ageing, Carl Honoré explores the cultural, medical and technological trends that will help us make the most of our longer lives. He shows us that the time has come to cast off prejudices and blur the lines of what is possible at every age. We can tear up the old script that locks us into learning in early life, working in the middle years and pursuing leisure with whatever time is left at the end. Instead, we can learn, work, rest, care for others, volunteer, create and have fun all the way through our lives. 

Bolder is a radical re-think of our approach to everything from education, healthcare and work, to design, relationships and politics. An essential and inspiring read to help all of us make ageing a bonus rather than a burden.

5.0 out of 5 stars I totally relate to the need for a revolution against age-based stereotyping
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 26, 2019

As a person who loves to seize each day and live life to the full, I abhor age-related stereotyping. Carl's book 'In Praise of Slow' was inspirational, as I learned to put the brakes on and relish each day rather than constantly trying to achieve more at the expense of enjoying life - and realising that the most important things in life are my health and happiness, and relationships with people, NOT the accumulation of possessions, or working harder and harder in a high powered/paying job.

I loved slowly savouring every word and chapter of his new book 'Bolder'. I very much enjoy Carl's style of writing. He uses a wide variety of anecdotes, heartwarming and amusing stories, international sources and research (catalogued for each chapter in the notes at the end, as well as an extensive further reading list), to show categorically that we all need to be embracing life WHATEVER age we may be. The more we choose to love being the age we are, the more we change our behaviour and those we connect with. The stories of older women and men choosing to share their zest for life, go on adventures, continue to learn, to start businesses, to take up new hobbies and sports, to enhance close relationships or begin new ones - basically to do anything they like and not be a party to those who portray any form of 'ageism'! I also enjoyed reading about the changing attitudes in employers who are discovering that their more mature employees are actually incredible resources to be treasured.

I shall OWN my age proudly - this year I shall be the magnificent age of 60. Thank you Carl for encouraging me to continue to be grateful every day for the choices I've made and will continue to make. We're only here once - let's all make the most of it ;-)

3.0 out of 5 stars La via è l'obiettivo
Reviewed in Italy on March 24, 2019

Ho letto in contemporanea con questo un altro libro sulla "mindfulness" - "la consapevolezza". Il capitolo finale aveva lo stesso titolo che ho scelto per questa recensione. Sin da quando veniamo al mondo, ognuno di noi percorre una via. La nascita ha segnato un inizio, in un modo od un altro ci siamo resi conto che ci sarà un arrivo, una conclusione, diciamolo pure, una fine, nessuno ne uscirà vivo. Per fortuna o purtroppo, le cose stanno proprio così. Dall'età di 30 anni, comincia il decadimento delle nostre qualità fisiche. La via che siamo costretti a percorrere ci indica l'obiettivo, che sarà la "fine". La vecchiaia è dietro l'angolo con il suo "obiettivo". L'ho detto e lo ripeto: nessuno alla fine della "via" uscirà vivo. Quello che possiamo fare organizzarci in modo da percorrerla (la via) nel modo migliore. Dinosauro come sono, ho avuto modo di leggere molto su questo argomento. L'autore di questo libro ha usato un aggettivo in lingua inglese nella forma comparativa. "Bold" sta coraggioso, "bolder " sta per "più coraggioso". Ecco, possiamo percorrere questa "via" in maniera più coraggiosa ben sapendo che non ne usciremo vivi ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and an ideal gift. But read it yourself too!

This is a subject close to my (ageing!) heart, so I was keen to read Carl Honore's new book. It certainly does not disappoint and I would recommend it highly, not only for those of us immersed in later life, but also for those approaching it, usually with reluctance, often dread. Whilst not glossing over the realities of getting older (ageism included) and the changes it brings (not all welcome), it provides plenty of evidence and examples to show how wonderful this time of life is, or can be, with a little help from ourselves and our modern world. Older people are happier - as David Bowie said 'Ageing is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been'. Discover how. I found 'Bolder' insightful, uplifting and helpful. Congratulations, Carl, for starting to change the culture; let's make 2019 the tipping point for recognising and celebrating the benefits and joys of old(er) age!

5.0 out of 5 stars A thoroughly readable book that tackles the issues around ageing in a compelling, engaging way!

This book. If you want the lowdown on why growing older can be WAY more than OK, if you want to be entertained in the process by a writer who knows how to keep his audience hooked, if you enjoy books that are a blend of fascinating reportage, personal anecdote and the latest research, all packaged up in a hugely readable format, and if you like a book that stimulates, motivates and makes you really think, then Bolder definitely should be on your shelf. I loved it from start to finish. Thank you Carl for this welcome and timely addition to my “ageing” library. I read an awful lot around this issue and so often what I read only retreads stuff I’ve already encountered. This is different. I loved it and was quite sad when I reached the end.
