BOLDER: Life Lessons from People Older

Forget loneliness and rocking chairs, tea and biscuits, the book captures a journey to find people aged 70 and older who make old age look fun. Full of real people, one of the stories in the book features a woman who fell in love and married at the age of 82, another of a man who swims a mile in the Mediterranean Sea every morning aged 85. There are well-known names like Barbara Hulanicki and Michel Roux to lesser-known people who will become your new heroes. Chapters tackle success, love and sex, happiness, family, health and fitness, style and beauty, work, friends, regrets and death and it is full of surprises and hilarity from the 28 stereo-type shattering people involved. Meet the 79 year old bold Icelandic popular thrift shop owner, fashion designers, interior designers, writers and those who stand on one leg while cleaning their teeth, the world's oldest ski instructor or the oldest cobbler in Brixton.
