Aging Forward: A New Path for Health, Technology, and Community Wins Nautilus Book Award in “Aging Consciously” Category
Baltimore, MD (June 13, 2024) — Aging Forward: A New Path for Health, Technology, and Community (Health Professions Press, an imprint of Paul H. Brookes Publishing Co.), by David Dunkelman and Martha Dunkelman, is a winner of a 2024 Nautilus Book Award in the Aging Consciously category. The Nautilus Book Awards recognize, promote, and celebrate brooks that support conscious living and sustainability, high-level health and wellness, spiritual growth, and positive social change and social justice.
A culmination of the insight and expertise gained over 30 years of leading and working with communities caring for older adults, Aging Forward warns of the perils our aging society faces if we continue the trajectory of America’s current care delivery systems. It calls for a radical shift in our society’s approach to elder care—better utilizing the capabilities of government, public health, business, technology, urban planning, culture, community, family, and aging individuals themselves. And while completely overhauling America’s aging services model can seem daunting, the beauty of Aging Forward is the practical solutions and undercurrent of hope—we have the tools to improve our system, change is possible, and this book demonstrates exactly how we get there.
Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State, believes in the power of this book to make real change in America. “This important book about aging affects every American by addressing a critical question,” she says. “How can more Americans age in health and dignity in their own homes or in places designed better to meet their needs for care and community? I hope their experiences and thoughtful recommendations will be read and followed by both policy makers and concerned citizens, who can use their ideas to implement changes we all know we need.”
Hundreds of entries were submitted to the 2024 Nautilus Book Awards, and the winners were announced in 35 categories. Judges look for exceptional literary contributions that inspire and connect our lives as individuals, families, communities, and global citizens. You can view the full list of winners here.
