Ann Karpf

Do you think about ageing? Does it bother you? Do you think there is a way of growing older gracefully, happily, and healthily? Or do you simply see getting older as an inevitable part of life and get on with it?

Broadcaster on Radio 4, medical sociologist, and award-winning journalist, Ann Karpf is the author of three books, including The Human Voice, and most recently How to Age, another in the School of Life series. It looks at the many current views of ageing. These include seeing it as a biomedical problem, a fear, but most significantly, as life-enriching and a joy.
