About this series
"Life is what you make it, has been, always will be" - Eleanor Roosevelt
Globally the population is ageing and with that our perspective on the ageing process is changing. As new life stages emerge they bring fresh opportunities, possibilities and exciting challenges for everyone. Accepting that we all age differently, the gift of healthier extended lifespans means later life can be the most creative, productive and enjoyable part of our lives - depending on our mindset!
The inspirational life stories in this book challenge the stereotype that advancing age means a narrowing down of life choices. The men and women you will meet here, whatever their age or circumstances, are expanding their horizons, moving out of their comfort zones, taking advantage of the opportunities around them, and creating their own reality. Inspired by their example, so can we!

Life On Our Own Terms The inspiration for this book came from chatting with many animated individuals who have reached mid-life and beyond and for whom chronological age is no barrier to making conscious lifestyle choices. The 19 individuals featured in this book are living fabulous, fulfilling lives on their own terms, and so can we. Their experiences and attitudes have shaped who they are. They have made up their minds about how they want to spend their time and who they want to spend it with. They pursue their passions, seek new opportunities, make big decisions, try new experiences, are adventurous, invest in meaningful relationships, enjoy a good laugh, are connected to family and the community, and plan and look forward to the future. It's a privilege to share their stories with you. I do hope you enjoy them. After all, life is a gift for us to enjoy.

Embracing Life On Our Own Terms What does later life look like for you?

Each has responded to new opportunities ahead, despite their wildly different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. These individuals are mindfully aware of their unique experience, the people they have met along the way who have influenced who they are today, and the choices they have made that will shape their future. Their attitudes to life and their perspective on ageing is insightful and uplifting. They show us that life is a continuous adventure. We can change gears and direction and expand our horizons at any age if we want to. These men and women embrace life and all that it offers on their own terms. Inspired by their example, whatever our age and circumstances, so can we!
