Psychology of ageing

Getting old sucks, says best-selling author Dr. Lillian Rubin. With refreshing candor, she digs down under the statistics about our graying population and offers a provocative and unflinching examination of all the burning issues that mark aging today. Tackling the subject over a broad swath of the population, cutting across race, class, gender, and physical and cognitive ability, Rubin delivers a powerful and long-overdue reminder that everyone will be touched by the problems arising from our new longevity.

Reviews for 60 on Up: The Truth about Aging in America

We end with a book that sounds interesting and hard to categorize. What does it mean that Americans now want to retire early, but typically live into their 90s? Psychotherapist Lillian B. Rubin, whose best-selling book about marriage was Intimate Strangers, reflects on later life in 60 on Up: The Truth About Aging in America (September). Rubin, in her early 80s and a very good writer, explores the good news/bad news about greater longevity of today's Americans.
