Disrupt Aging Is Available Nationwide from Retail and Online Booksellers

 

ARLINGTON_ In her personal and thought-provoking book, AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins inspires us to seize the opportunities that longer lives give us and to embrace aging as something to look forward to, not something to fear.  

Share an evening with AARP’s engaging and spirited CEO as she touches on all the important issues facing people 50+ today, from caregiving and mindful living to building age-friendly communities and making our money last.  In Disrupt Aging: A Bold New Path to Living Your Best Life at Every Age, Jenkins offers the generational call to action we’ve all been waiting for. 

Through a powerful and engaging narrative, Jenkins examines the need to shatter negative stereotypes related to aging and to spark new solutions so more people can choose how they want to live and age.

 

“The way people are aging is changing – mostly for the better –but negative attitudes about people over a certain age are alive and well,” Jenkins said. “ Disrupt Aging is the rallying cry of an emerging movement to change that.”

 

Beautifully written, full of humor and inspiration, and powerfully argued, this book offers the definitive map for making the most of the longevity revolution, as individuals and as a nation.
