Disrupting Ageism: From Theory to Practice delves deep into the issue of ageism in society, guiding readers through an eye-opening journey. Part One explores the influence of ageism on physical and brain health, identity, and trauma, while highlighting its intersection with other forms of discrimination, such as ableism. Through poignant anecdotes and thought-provoking research, the book underscores the distressing reality of ageism's role in instances of abuse. Part Two focuses on solutions to break the shackles of ageism, uncovering its subtleties in healthcare, industry, and media. It also dissects the portrayal of older adults, policy, politics, and law.

Part Three emphasizes intergenerational programming, adult education, and the power of individual narratives in reshaping perceptions, fostering meaningful social connections, and addressing broader societal factors that contribute to loneliness.
