In recent decades, the North American public has pursued an inspirational vision of successful agingstriving through medical technique and individual effort to eradicate the declines, vulnerabilities, and dependencies previously commonly associated with old age. On the face of it, this bold new vision of successful, healthy, and active aging is highly appealing. But it also rests on a deep cultural discomfort with aging and being old.
 
The contributors to Successful Aging as a Contemporary Obsession explore how the successful aging movement is playing out across five continents. Their chapters investigate a variety of people, including Catholic nuns in the United States  Hindu ashram dwellers  older American women seeking plastic surgery  aging African-American lesbians and gay men in the District of Columbia  Chicago home health care workers and their aging clients  Mexican men foregoing Viagra  dementia and Alzheimer sufferers in the United States and Brazil  and aging policies in Denmark, Poland, India, China, Japan, and Uganda.
