Description
'Exquisitely written . . . [Aronson] advocates a new paradigm: a re-balancing act in which technology has a
role but the focus returns to care. Unlike the high-tech, algorithmic march of modern medicine, her idea of
truly ‘personalized medicine†incorporates the patientâ€s past experiences and current expectations.
This integrative, humanistic model of geriatrics is rare. One can only hope its practices are adopted swiftly.' -
Nature“Wise and engaging.― ―AARP Magazine“A passionate, deeply informed critique of how our
healthcare system fails in its treatment of the elderly . . . Vitally important . . . Though the subject of this
provocative book is the elderly, its message touches the entire span of human life.―
―BookPage“Eloquent and impressive . . . A landmark work . . . In a world of increasing numbers of
older adults, Aronson's highly readable, absorbing, and thought-provoking book should serve as a guide for
how our culture must change in order to provide a future in which all of us can age well throughout the span
of our lives.― ―Changing Aging“[A] penetrating meditation on geriatrics . . . Aronson's deep empathy,
hard-won knowledge, and vivid reportage makes for one of the best accounts around of the medical
mistreatment of the old.― ―Publishers Weekly, starred review“An examination of aging and the human
condition encompassing poignant stories and the viewpoints of medical experts, writers, historians, and
scientists . . . Empathetic, probing, and often emotionally moving narratives on appreciating the power and
the pain of aging.― ―Kirkus, starred review'A bold critique of our anti-aging society and of the medical
care seniors receive. . . This book, part memoir, part critique and part prescription, encourages readers to
help put an end to the anti-aging industry and its profiteers, to engage in better self-care and to collectively
ask the medical community to look at elderhood not as a disease.' - The Missourian'[A] vast and penetrating
analysis…With strong empathy that comes from both a professional understanding of and personal
experience with the challenges of aging, Aronson provides an essential guide to how society in general and
the health-care industry in particular must recalibrate their approach to providing concerned and competent
elder care. Thought provoking and wise, Aronsonâ€s memoir-cum-treatise should be required reading for
medical professionals and will be of great use for seniors and those who support them.' - Booklist, starred
review“Monumental . . . Elderhood, like the life station it studies, is dynamic, multifaceted and full of
wonder. Aronsonâ€s writing, too, flexes with vibrant energy as she discusses in lucid, candid detail the
ways she has seen the healthcare system neglect the overall well-being of her patients, her colleagues and
herself . . . Intimidating as it may seem, elderhood becomes welcoming and generous in Aronson's deft
care.' - Shelf Awareness, starred review“An in-depth, unusually frank exploration of biases that distort
society's view of old age and that shape dysfunctional health policies and medical practices.― ―Kaiser
Health News“Aronson's Elderhood is dazzling, rich with knowledge gleaned from her professional work
as a geriatrician, her personal experience as a daughter, her common sense, and her thorough analysis of our

social supports and cultural messaging. Her arguments are powerful, and her conclusions are revolutionary. I
hope everyone who has a stake in older people, which is ultimately all of us, will read this book.― ―Mary
Pipher, author of WOMEN ROWING NORTH“In the latter years there are possibilities for joy,
transcendence, and meaning, but also for just the opposite. Aronson writes like a memoirist while giving us
scientific insight, philosophical wisdom, and wise counsel for a journey and destination we all share.
Elderhood is a lovely and thoughtful exploration of this voyage.― ―Abraham Verghese, author of
CUTTING FOR STONE“In Elderhood, the physician-writer Louise Aronson provides an honest and
humane analysis of what it means to grow old in America. Her book--part memoir, history, and social
critique--is deeply sympathetic to elders and sharply critical of the 'anti-aging industry' that has tried to turn
being elderly into some sort of disease. I highly recommend this wonderful book to anyone who plans on
growing old in this country.― ―Sandeep Jauhar, author of HEART: A HISTORY“As Louise Aronson
says, 'Life offers just two possibilities: die young or grow old.' This searing, luminous book is for everyone
who hopes to accomplish the latter and remain fully human as they do. It will challenge your assumptions
and open your mind--and it just might change your life.― ―Lucy Kalanithi, MD, editor of WHEN
BREATH BECOMES AIR“In Elderhood, Louise Aronson draws on the experiences of her own life and
the many lives she has touched as a geriatrician to think about age and aging, combining the insights of
science and med
