This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism

This Chair Rocks is a groundbreaking manifesto that challenges the ageist beliefs and stereotypes that pervade our society, and offers a rousing call to action for creating an all-age-friendly world.

Written by Ashton Applewhite, a renowned author, activist, and TED speaker, this book traces her journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-aging radical, debunking myth after myth about late life and offering a comprehensive critique of ageism in all its forms.

With lively, funny, and deeply researched insights, This Chair Rocks explores the roots of ageism in history, how it divides and debases, and the cost of the all-American myth of independence.

It also examines ageism in the workplace and the bedroom, and offers a vision for an all-age-friendly world that values and celebrates the contributions of people of all ages.

Whether you're older or hoping to get there, this book will shake you by the shoulders, cheer you up, make you mad, and change the way you see the rest of your life.

Age pride!
