Aging Thoughtfully: Conversations about Retirement, Romance, Wrinkles, and RegretWe all age differently, but we can learn from shared experiences and insights. The conversations, or paired essays, in Aging Thoughtfully combine a philosopher's approach with a lawyer economist's. Here are ideas about when to retire, how to refashion social security to help the elderly poor, how to learn from King Lear who did not retire successfully and whether to enjoy or criticize anti aging cosmetic procedures.

We all age differently, but we can learn from shared experiences and insights. The conversations, or paired essays, in Aging Thoughtfully combine a philosopher's approach with a lawyer-economist's.

Here are ideas about when to retire, how to refashion social security to help the elderly poor, how to learn from King Lear -- who did not retire successfully -- and whether to enjoy or criticize anti-aging cosmetic procedures. Some of the concerns are practical: philanthropic decisions, relations with one's children and grandchildren, the purchase of annuities, and how to provide for care in old age. Other topics are cultural, ranging from the treatment of aging women in a Strauss opera and various popular films, to a consideration of Donald Trump's (and other men's) marriages to much younger women.

These engaging, thoughtful, and often humorous exchanges show how stimulating discussions about our inevitable aging can be, and offer valuable insight into how we all might age more thoughtfully, and with zest and friendship.

Suggest a size up from recommended
I bought this in 2 different sizes. One the size it recommended for the measurements and one for my husband's usual size. The recommended size was too small, the other they sent the wrong size. Sending the same as what was recommended. So I got 2 shirts for our sins wedding n neither fit.

Very nice shirt for the price
Very nice quality shirt at a great price. Bought it for my son for hoco but he ended up not going so I had to return it. The fit was very comfortable and true to size. It came with cuff links. I would definitely buy it again if we need a dressy shirt for an occasion.
