What is 'ageing well'?

Ageing well isn't just about avoiding illness; it's an active process of adapting your life as you get older. The story highlights that instead of passively accepting decline, people who thrive in later life actively renegotiate their goals and let go of things that no longer serve them, leading to greater satisfaction.
