This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism

Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing 3415 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, Beaverton, OR, United States

Author, activist, and TED speaker Ashton Applewhite’s This Chair Rocks (Celadon) is a rousing manifesto calling for an end to discrimination and prejudice on the basis of age. Lively, funny, and deeply researched, This Chair Rocks traces Applewhite’s journey from apprehensive boomer to pro-aging radical, and in the process debunks myth after myth about late life.
