A deep-dive look at how new generations are not a continuance of previous generations but have sworn off the common bonds that held generations together. It is not about old people dying so much is it is about how the traditions, the mindset, even the shared generational values of previous generations no longer are part of new generations.

No one teaches us how to grow old. It just happens. Sometimes quickly, like with an illness or injury. Then, we feel our age quickly. Sometimes slowly, like a change in hair color to shades of gray or shades of bald. Whether quickly or slowly, there are always surprises. Some pleasant, some painful. The joy or sadness of growing old usually rests with our perception and expectations.

„Krisen gehören nun mal zum Leben.“ Wirklich? Was wäre, wenn wir die natürlichen Lebensübergänge wieder als solche sehen könnten – als normal, als Chance, Altes loszulassen und sich weiterzuentwickeln? Geburt, Pubertät, Berufseinstieg, Familiengründung usw., all das sind potenzielle Auslöser für Krisen in unserer sich immer schneller drehenden Welt. Oft klammert man sich an vermeintlich Sicheres, wehrt sich gegen unausweichliche Veränderungen – und verpasst den Entschluss, mutig selbst den nächsten Schritt zu tun.

The dreaded midlife crisis doesn’t strike everyone, but it’s a common enough occurrence that everyone is familiar with the concept. If you find yourself in the middle of one, your own concern is finding your way out. There are many theories about what causes this common phenomenon in one’s older adult years. Many cultures, including Japanese and Indian, don’t seem to suffer from midlife crises. At least part of the issue seems to be influenced by culture.

When we step into curiosity, we find we have a choice to see the world through other people’s eyes. To imagine what their experiences are, even though we cannot know them directly. From here, we can begin to understand and utilize our agency. The power we hold over interpreting our day-to-day experiences and the stories we end up telling ourselves about them, i.e., "our truths." Too often, this leads to selling ourselves short, or worse, selling ourselves out, resulting in death by a thousand papercuts.

It is way past time for a new look at the phenomenon of aging—an examination that reveals the ultimate dignity of human life. Such a look reveals the organic process that is going on. It shows instinctive forces at work, pushing growth and integration.

Tom Vanderbilt, jurnalist de profesie, pornește și el într-o astfel de călătorie, inspirat de procesul de învățare al fiicei lui de vârstă preșcolară. De-a lungul unui an, învață să joace șah, să cânte într-un cor, să facă surfing, să deseneze și să jongleze, întotdeauna cu entuziasmul unui veșnic începător. Relatarea experiențelor lui, de multe ori comice, e însoțită de explicații științifice, care ne dezvăluie schimbările la nivel psihic și progresele cognitive înregistrate de creier când formează noi rețele neuronale: adică ce se întâmplă când dobândim noi aptitudini.
