Wellbeing Library
“We have come to medicalize ageing, frailty and death, treating them as if they were just one clinical problem to overcome. However, it is not only medicine that is needed in one’s declining years, but life - a life with meaning, a life as rich and full as possible under the circumstances.”
— Oliver Sacks
