ASHTON
APPLEWHITE

The author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism, Applewhite is a much sought-after thought leader who has been recognized by The New York Times, National Public Radio, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and The Toronto Sun as an expert on ageism. Age bias cuts work lives short, stunts our sense of self and our place in the world, and harms our health: attitudes towards aging affect how our minds and bodies function at the cellular level!
