Andrea Gilats—writer, educator, artist, yoga instructor—believes that

“when one writes a memoir, one has to be oneself.” Andrea’s captivating new

memoir, Radical Endurance: Growing Old in an Age of Longevity,

reveals her journey of ‘discovery through the pitfalls and possibilities of

aging.’ She reflects on dealing with prolonged grief following the early death

of her husband, navigating serious chronic illnesses while living alone, and

learning to recreate her identity and sense of belonging after retirement.

Now age 79, Andrea highlights the “singular pleasures of growing up again.”

With deeper self-knowing and well-earned wisdom, “this time we can enjoy

it… My horizon is no longer longer than I can see—I have arrived!” Andrea

shares how she is now able to “live a life of peace, joy, and contentment.”
