Through this contextualized perspective, they examine the influence that previous life experiences, beginning in early childhood, can have on the aging process in older adults. This includes social relations, technological advances, societal perspectives on aging, and education. The authors also examine the challenges and opportunities of aging, using a strength‑based approach to promote a diverse, nuanced understanding of successful, healthy aging.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Chapters also conclude with dialogues from other experts in the field, offering multiple different perspectives on the research.","brand":"American Psychological Association","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54222350483800,"sku":"9781433831652","price":75.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/psychology-of-later-life","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
