Edited by Professor Chris Poulos
With ageing a defining issue for Australian society, The Positive Ageing Equation meets a growing demand for trustworthy, practical guidance that is neither alarmist nor simplistic.
Central to the book is the concept of the equation itself.
Each chapter explores a key dimension of ageing well, such as physical function, mental wellbeing, social connection, meaning, purpose and spiritual life and concludes with a clear ‘equation’ that brings together the evidence from that chapter.
These equations are designed to be practical, adaptable and personal, allowing readers to apply them to their own lives.
Rather than offering abstract advice, the book gives readers something tangible: a framework they can return to, adjust over time, and use to make informed decisions about their health, wellbeing and quality of life.‘
The Positive Ageing Equation website
While this book gives you the practical tools and evidence to age well, The Positive Ageing Equation website extends that experience.
It’s a practical companion to the book, with tools and resources designed to support you as you age well, including:
- shortened, downloadable versions of The Positive Ageing Equation checklists
- links to trusted resources and further reading referenced throughout the book
- an additional supplementary chapter, ‘Ageing within a Christian worldview’, for readers who wish to explore this perspective further.
The website will continue to grow over time, with new resources and practical tools to support your ageing journey.
