Carl Honore looks at the abundant negative images of ageing and questions how important it is to see a range of experiences reflected.

How do we make the most of our longer lives?

Journalist Carl Honoré brought the Slow Movement to wider attention with his book In Praise of Slow.

Now he charts a major shift in our approach to ageing as he meets the revolutionaries who are inspiring us to live better for longer.

As his journey continues, Carl discovers that what we see really does influence how we feel.
