From the Anatomy of Life to the Architecture of Living.
With this book Crosstalks wants to contribute to escape routes out of a society driven by competition and profit and divided by class, income, race, sex, education and age. The result is a mix of empirical studies, academic research, reflections, projects, a rallying cry against ageism, and even Three Rules for Aging Disgracefully.
Make the most of your day; don't forget to breathe, speak out, and act. Whenever you can. Don't hesitate. We hope this book will give you a reason to get out of bed, if nothing else does.
