From Realize Magazine: Aging with Gusto. A Video Talk with Dr. Bill Thomas:
Bill Thomas is an author, entrepreneur, musician, teacher, farmer and a physician whose wide-ranging work explores the terrain of human aging. But above all, he’s an impassioned reformer dedicated to promoting and developing constructive, holistic approaches to aging and the care of our elders. His innovations are of enormous consequence to the boomer generation, who will of course be looking for a more enlightened form of care as we age. This synthesis of imagination and action led the Wall Street Journal to highlight Dr. Thomas as one of the nation’s “top 12 innovators” changing the future of retirement in America and US News and World Report to name him as one of “America’s best leaders.” The magazine noted his “startling common-sense ideas and his ability to persuade others to take a risk,” and concluded that “this creative and wildly exuberant country doctor has become something of a culture changer–reimagining how Americans will approach aging in the 21st century.” Read more here.
Dr. Bill Thomas is a long-time friend of EngAGE Founder and Executive Director Tim Carpenter, who recently participated in Bill’s “Second Wind” tour. We think you’ll enjoy this interview with Dr. Bill Thomas! [Hat tip to Tim for sending along the link.]
