Abstract

This essay explores what it means to age happily, beginning with concepts of aging and happiness and proceeding to factors that promote or under-mine 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.
