Synopsis

This book is about two misunderstood concepts: ageing and leisure. Aging is typically viewed as a largely undesirable period of life during which a series of physical, cognitive, social, and emotional declines occurs. Leisure is often seen as somewhat frivolous and certainly secondary to the more serious business of life. The authors of this book disagree with both perspectives. In fact, they view ageing as a natural part of life cycle, accompanied by advantages as well as losses. Leisure is a primary realm of behaviour during which great personal growth and development can occur. This book is about the joining of these two forces.
