Does your real age match the age you feel?When do we reach middle age?When, if ever, are we old?The way we age and the way we perceive age has changed radically.

As she follows this social epidemic through generations and across continents, she reveals its profound impact on society, our careers, our families and ourselves.Why be defined by numbers?Are you amortal?
