This TED talk by my friend Ashton Applewhite is all about ending ageism. I love it. buff.ly/2GLXN4x

Could you live in a tiny house? They are popular with older people and I am intrigued, but as a bit of a clumsy type, I think it could be a disaster! buff.ly/2xALI2S

I like the work being done now on creativity and ageing, such easy ideas with so much promise for reducing anxiety, stress and depression, while improving physical capability and cognition. (And it is fun, which I reckon may be the best of all...) buff.ly/2wFUhcc

Some great tips on challenging ageism at work. We all need to work towards a workplace based on capabilities alone. buff.ly/2GwP2jv?

is it time to disrupt ageing and let people choose how they want to age and what they want to do? I think it might be. buff.ly/2GOHNPa

I like this article on starting a business when you are 50+. And I agree that the first question has to be 'Why?' not 'What?'. buff.ly/2svSlys

Talking to your parents about signs of dementia is difficult. This article may help. buff.ly/2stjeTX

Nice suggestions from AARP for making your home work for you as you age. buff.ly/2IRNphR

Do you want to live forever? I know some do, but I tend to agree with this article from The Guardian - it might not be a great thing. buff.ly/2m1hfT5

Love this article, full of interesting ideas - and if you read to the end there’s a great pic of a Japanese girl band average age 84! buff.ly/2zAuaVC

Some great insights on why we may be happiest in the decades after our fifties (I have seen much of the underlying research and can vouch for it...): buff.ly/2JHlcG5

Fascinating UK research on age stereotyping (plus a very telling recruiter video). It equates with the Australian research I have seen. Time we put these myths behind us? buff.ly/2mIWBHK

What do you think about the gig economy for older Australians? For some it is a boon, others need (but can't find) a more permanent solution:" buff.ly/2LL10Il

I love this story of a master clockmaker still working and passing on his skills at 79. buff.ly/2OqyJoV

i am a fan of Jared Diamond's work and this TED talk is about how older people are treated by a range of traditional societies, compared to the modern West. Fascinating: buff.ly/2LO2stA

I like this Forbes piece on the disruption to the study/work/retire linear life model, brought about by our longer lifespans and changes in the world of work. Worth a read. buff.ly/2vOSYF7

This is a nice take from the NY Times on the importance of contentment in ageing - though I am also impressed it's written by a guy who runs competitively at 88! buff.ly/2OrZNGZ

I don't always post about older people doing extraordinary things, as it sets the bar stupidly high for the rest of us. But I couldn't resist this charming story of a 107-year-old barber. Worth a read. buff.ly/2C2sG63

I’m writing a new book, do you have a story to share with me? It's about the new retirement, exploring how traditional retirement doesn't work any more. I am keen to hear from people with interesting stories or cautionary tales, so please get in touch . joannamaxwell.com.au/contact/
