Time Enough for Life: Growing Older, Gracefully

By Yemi Ladipo

Time Enough for Life draws on centuries of theological and philosophical wisdom to explore the challenges of retirement, ageing and mortality. The book's core is the conviction that the keys to growing older gracefully reside in qualities that seem counterintuitive in our modern world. It argues that, instead of constantly seeking to take back control, we need to learn to cooperate with the ageing process. Our bodies' senescence is not a design defect but a necessary feature of our humanity; and one that should be embraced and celebrated. While Dylan Thomas adjures that 'old age should burn and rave at close of day', Yemi Ladipo proposes something very different. We should burn not with rage and resentment but with faith, gratitude and a determination to hand the torch to the next generation.
