    Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow

    In a culture that values youth over age and experience, many older adults try to hide their chronological age, but few are looking at how we can prepare for the inevitable changes ahead.    Dr. Katherine Esty, a social psychologist and therapist, interviewed ordinary eighty-somethings regarding their worries and attitudes to see how they make sense of their lives as they age. The result is her book, Eightysomethings: A practical guide to letting go, aging well, and finding unexpected happiness.

    Revisiting: When You Don't Want Their Help

    At Not Born Yesterday we keep listeners informed on the issues confronting us as we age. This episode from our archives is being offered again as family visits during the holidays and the issue of who should be in charge when help is needed is so important.  The state run guardianship/conservatorship program is largely unregulated and too often attractive to predators. Currently there are more than two million Americans, mostly seniors, who are under court control with unwanted and unnecessary restrictions that violate constitutionally protected rights .  Our guest, journalist Diane Dimond, has written "We're Here To Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong" and dissects this industry which profits off the confinement of others.

Dr. Gordon Lithgow of the Buck Institute, the world's first biomedical research institution devoted to research on aging, believes we can stay healthy as we live longer. It all starts with biology...and worms.  Brought to you by NEXTVillageSF.org NEXT Village SF is a neighborhood nonprofit providing services and support that empowers members to live independently.
