Seekers of Meaning 4/4/2025: Insights from ‘It’s OK to Be Old’ author Patricia Greenberg

On this week’s episode of the Seekers of Meaning TV Show and Podcast, Patricia Greenberg discusses her book, It’s OK to Be Old. She and Rabbi Address also discuss the pro-aging movement, emphasizing the importance of embracing aging rather than fearing it. She highlights cultural shifts in the representation of older adults, the generational differences in attitudes towards aging, and the significance of defining one’s own life. Greenberg also explores the role of spirituality in aging, the benefits and challenges of community living, and the importance of controlling one’s end-of-life decisions with dignity.

“It’s Ok to be Old” is an entertaining, yet informative book that lets people of a certain age embrace how to be in today with strategies that help each of us live life to the fullest when we reach those later years. One of the greatest accomplishments in life is accepting the things you cannot change, and embracing every one of life’s precious moments.
