In praise of ageing : awakening to old age with wisdom and compassion
Shalev, Carmel2020
Books, Manuscripts
Drawing on the insights of Buddhism, 'In Praise of Ageing' invites the reader to meet the challenges of growing older with an open mind in order to age with grace, understanding and wisdom. Written by an Israeli human rights lawyer who specialized in bio-ethics, including end-of-life care, it looks at the current cultural context of youth versus age, and weaves the author's personal experiences of her own and her parents' ageing with ancient Buddhist wisdom that accepts growing older as a natural process.
