Important demographic shifts and the so-called ‘longevity revolution’ have generated
profound transformations in social interpretations of old age, an increased interest in age studies and
new ideas on how to age well. The majority of current successful ageing models, however, represent
rather a prevailing construct in Western societies. Physical and psychosocial well-being and the ability
to adjust to the ideals of successful ageing are often seen as an integral part of a good quality in life.
Those who do not or cannot follow these lines are often regarded as morally irresponsible and seem
to be doomed to have a lonely, unhealthy and unhappy later life. This paper questions the current
discourses of successful ageing in terms of healthy and happy living and calls for a reconsideration of
more global, integrated and holistic understandings of the process of growing old.
