‘Embracing the Golden Years’, edited by Alexander Thomas, Kris Gopalakrishnan, Divya Alexander and Sugandhi Baliga, is a book focused on happy and healthy ageing. The book features contributions from leading experts in gerontology.
This book is a practical and insightful guide designed to support older adults in India as they navigate retirement and the challenges of ageing. With the global ageing population projected to double by 2050, the book highlights this demographic shift as an opportunity for social transformation. It offers comprehensive information on the ageing process in India—covering physical, emotional, and social aspects—while also equipping caregivers, policymakers, and concerned individuals with the tools to support seniors more effectively.
Through real-life case studies and a focus on both urban and rural contexts, the book sheds light on issues faced by vulnerable groups, especially older women and persons with disabilities. Ultimately, it promotes active ageing, inclusion, and dignity for India’s growing elderly population.
Published by Indus Publishing, Neelankarai, the book costs Rs.350 and is available on Amazon, Flipkart and all leading book-selling platforms. The book is also available as an e-book.
