Not Working Is Not on My Radar, George H. Schofield, PhD, Positive Aging Conference, 8 of 18

"I shouldn't be speaking about these things if I don't have the integrity to do it in my own life."

"We're a nation of problem solvers."

"If we find something that challenges us, we turn it into a "problem" so we can then find a solution. It's a standard paradigm for most people. When we come up on something that isn't solvable with don't know what to do with it because we only know how to solve problems."

"How many people can solve their aging and never have to worry about it again?"

"Let the record show that not a single hand went up in a room, including mine."

"So aging can't be solved, but the most common paradigm for discussion of problem/ solution or the medical model: diagnosis. treatment, cure. "

"I'm arguing that these are not constructs that work for us."
