Non-fiction

Old Age Teaches explores the untapped potential of elder wisdom in our aging society, challenging the common narrative of aging as decline. The book examines how insights from older adults can address contemporary societal challenges and promote well-being. It bridges the gap between anecdotal wisdom and empirical analysis, offering a fresh perspective on aging populations and their contributions. One intriguing area highlighted is the role of perspective-taking and emotional regulation, aspects often refined with age, and how these contribute to practical judgment.

The book progresses through three core parts: defining elder wisdom, analyzing societal datasets to correlate elder populations with positive outcomes, and exploring practical applications like intergenerational programs. By integrating quantitative data and qualitative insights, Old Age Teaches moves beyond stereotypes to provide an empirically grounded understanding of older adults' value. It highlights how elder wisdom can foster resilience, promote societal well-being, and create more age-friendly communities, ultimately challenging ageist views prevalent in social science and psychology.
