Dr. Gendron begins by exclaiming, “Everything you know about aging is wrong, and it’s not your fault!” Using wit and real-world examples, Tracey transforms decades of research about aging and age discrimination into a thought-provoking and sometimes humorous conversation about the commonly accepted myths and misconceptions people of all ages face.
