Drury Lane Books hosted Andrea Gilats on Saturday night for an Author Talk featuring her new book, Radical Endurance: Growing Old in an Age of Longevity. Gilats spent 34 years at the University of Minnesota developing and directing programs for older learners preparing for post-career life. Her latest book emphasises her work with these programs and her own personal journey with ageing. Writing from within retirement, she offers a unique and authentic perspective on what it means to navigate this stage of life. 

Andrea Gilats shared excerpts of Radical Endurance in the intimate and cozy Drury Lane. Audience members were eager to ask questions and gain Gilats’ perspective on maintaining a balanced lifestyle after retirement and how to prepare for the mindset of aging.  All were able to get the book signed at the end.
