Aging In Full Bloom

I am joined by Amanda Barusch, a retired professor of social work and gerontology, who brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to our discussion. Amanda recently authored the compelling book, "Aging Angry, Making Peace with Rage."Fear of anger can ultimately be as destructive as expressed rage, fomenting social isolation, injustice, and misunderstanding. In rich and insightful prose, "Aging Angry" draws upon the experiences of hundreds of older adults and a wealth of literary and academic sources to empower readers with new understanding of anger’s sources, dynamics, and possibilities.Together, we explore the underlying causes of anger in older adults, from workplace ageism to family dynamics, and discuss how this anger can be understood and even channeled into positive change. We uncover the realities of aging beyond the stereotypes and learn how to make peace with rage. Hear invaluable insights and advice for anyone experiencing or witnessing the complexities of aging.Key Moments00:00 Engagi
