Radical Endurance: It’s Real! with Andrea Gilats Author of Radical Endurance: Growing Old in an Age of Longevity

March 11th

[11:00][12:00]CT

 

Why are so many of us afraid of old age? And why has old age gotten such a bad rap? In this welcoming presentation and supportive conversation, we will enjoy a couple short but inspiring true stories from Radical Endurance; we will quiet our fears of losing our minds, our mobility, or our independence; we will practice resisting ageism in our everyday lives; we will reflect on what it feels like to live through—and survive!—significant losses; and we will assert that we have meaningful futures. After all, radical endurance is real! Andrea will welcome your questions, comments, and stories.

Special Offer! The University of Minnesota Press is offering a 30% discount on Radical Endurance to those of you who would like to purchase the book through their website, whether or not you attend this event. Go to https://www.upress.umn.edu/9781517918064/radical-endurance/ and use discount code W7030 (zeroes, not letter Os) at check-out.
