There's a popular question we are often asked to consider; what advice would you give your younger self? But what if instead we thought, what advice would I give my future self?

In this empowering, deeply relatable book, Dr Lucy Pollock delves into the various challenges we face in the second half of life. Candid and compassionate, she shares stories of her patients, and of herself, to provide practical advice and support on how to make the most of long lives.

Warm and reassuring, Dr Lucy is unafraid to tackle rarely talked about topics, and this book will aid you through a multitude of situations, from sharing devastating news to medical consent, and anxiety surrounding ageing. With a wealth of perspectives and positivity, Dr Lucy wants to make you feel confident that long lives can be fulfilling and happy.

There's advice for those in mid-life, wondering how not to become their parents - and how to emulate traits they admire. Guidance on how to share bad news, which is a task many of us may have to do. But overall, it's a celebration, and a call to arms. For if we're prejudiced against older people, we are prejudiced against our future selves.

This is the moment for us to act, to set in place a better society for older people, and to build the future we want for ourselves.
