FACE THE FUTURE- SENIORS CAN INSPIRE APPLY WISDOM AND MODEL VALUES PB

'Face the Future' is a four-part book series that addresses topics of special relevance and interest to the over-60s. Balancing practical advice, inspirational stories and a generous dose of humour, William Cutting shows how Seniors can live life to the full, with purpose, pleasure and a positive approach.

This first book demonstrates how Seniors can make a positive change in society. Whether it is helping other Seniors or inspiring the younger generation, whether it is challenging the policies of global organisations or helping to protect the environment, Seniors have a wealth of wisdom and wit to draw upon. Inspiring examples are given of Seniors who have impacted politics, the media and other fields. But active Seniors also recognise that there is always more to learn – and do so.

William Cutting was born in South India where his father was a medical missionary and his grandfather had been Principal of a Mission High School in Varanasi (Benares, North India). He trained in medicine at Edinburgh University where he met his wife, Margot, who was also training for medical mission work. They worked in rural India, Andhra Pradesh, for twelve years, developing simple child health services and using nutrition rehabilitation to help mothers feed their malnourished children back to health with local foods.

After retiring in 1998, his wide clinical and pastoral interests turned to the many and varied needs of the elderly. He started to collect material, write for and befriend a circle of older people. The paediatrician metamorphosed into a concerned, amateur geriatrician.
