We wrote this book to persuade readers to abandon negative and pessimistic beliefs about living longer because the science is clear that much of what happens to us is not the result of ageing, a normal biological process which cannot be slowed or reversed. Instead, science shows that many of the changes we have blamed on ageing are the result of other environmental factors which can be influenced. Furthermore, strong evidence from research has revealed many of these changes that were wrongly assumed to be the result of ageing can be prevented or delayed. We need to be positive, not negative, and being positive is also good for one’s wellbeing. People need this information, which in 2021 is of both vital and urgent importance, because the effects of lockdown have aggravated many of the problems that adversely affect physical and mental wellbeing. This book was written for someone without a clinical qualification but many of our colleagues in our health systems are just as confused about ageing and dementia as members of the public and for them, as well as for the public we have provided references to the best science.
