What does it take to have a healthy and joyful old age? Researchers say it’s not too late to make changes at 50 to get the ‘retirement years’ we want. But what should we change and how do we do it? Annabel Streets and Susan Saunders spent their 30s climbing the career ladder, having children and caring for elderly parents – all at the same time. By their 40s, they were exhausted, stressed, sleeping too little and rushing too much. They began to ask whether the prolonged ill health and dementia suffered by their parents was their inevitable future too – could they do anything to avoid requiring their own children to care for them in old age? Thus began ‘The Age-Well Project’.

Harness your inner peace one step at a time with this pocket collection of nearly 200 life-changing and inspirational passages. It is for dipping into and reflecting upon, wherever you are.

Susan Saunders draws on almost a decade of extensive research into healthy longevity and her experience as a health coach to give you the tools you need to live your own age-well life. Her simple, clear and easy-to-follow six-week plan shows you how to make changes – small and large – to support healthy ageing, and prioritise the changes most appropriate for your body, lifestyle and circumstances.

‘I’m in bed with my mother, in a Bangkok sex hotel. It is my 30th birthday, it is time for me to become a man, and I have grave worries about the kind of man I’m going to become’. On an unlikely backpacking trip, Rhik and his mother find themselves speaking openly for the first time in years. Afterwards, the depression that has weighed down on Rhik begins to loosen its grip for a moment – so he seizes the opportunity: to own it, to understand it, and to find out where it came from. Through this begins a journey of investigation, healing and recovery. Along the way Rhik learns some shocking truths about his family, and realizes that, in turn, he will need to confront the secrets he has long buried. But through this, he triumphs over his fears and brings his depression into the light. ‘I Never Said I Loved You’ is the story of how Rhik learned to let go, and then keep going.

In 2007 Michael Maitland left home for university and in the years that followed he developed depression, OCD and, almost fatally, anorexia. It was only when Michael was taken to hospital in 2012, his body shutting down and his organs failing, that the family realised exactly what was happening. Later, Iain was given a bundle of letters that had been carefully saved and tucked away in a drawer – the letters he had written to Michael regularly from the autumn of 2007 when he went to university.
