Imagine This: Happy Aging in America

Perspect Biol Med. 2023;66(4):610-619. doi: 10.1353/pbm.2023.a909730.ABSTRACTThis essay explores what it means to age happily, beginning with concepts of aging and happiness and proceeding to factors that promote or undermine happy aging. Relationships, contribution, and personal growth all add value to an aging life. Community also matters, as does the acceptance that a happy older age requires neither perfect health nor immense wealth.PMID:38661848 | DOI:10.1353/pbm.2023.a909730
