Ever caught yourself saying “I’m too old for this” or “I’m having a senior moment”? Ashton Applewhite has something to say about that — and once you hear her out, you’ll never think about aging the same way again.
This Chair Rocks is a rallying cry, a wake-up call, and a deeply researched takedown of one of the last socially acceptable prejudices: ageism. Drawing on years of interviews, science, and her own awakening, Applewhite dismantles the myths we’ve been fed about getting older — that it’s all decline, loneliness, and irrelevance — and replaces them with something far more honest, hopeful, and freeing.
This is the book that landed Applewhite a TED Talk, an invitation to address the United Nations, and a spot on the PBS NewsHour. It’s been praised by everyone from Gloria Steinem to the New York Times, and it has quietly started a movement.
Readers call it “life-changing,” “essential,” and “the book I wish I’d read twenty years ago.”
What you’ll find inside:
Bring it home, pour something warm, and settle in. Whether you’re 35 or 75, this one rearranges the furniture in your head — in the best possible way.
