The goal of adulthood is to develop our childlike traits to love, to learn, to wonder, and to know. The goal of adulthood is not to grow up but to develop what are considered to be childlike traits; the ability to love, to learn, to wonder, to know, to explore, to experiment. This is the thesis set forth by distinguished anthropologist Ashley Montagu in Growing Young. based on scientific evidence and years of interdisciplinary research, this revolutionary book shows that we are actually designed to grow and develop all of our lives and that we are not intended to become the ossified adults prescribed by society.

In this new, revised edition of his landmark book, Montagu compels us to reevaluate the way we think about growth and development, in all its phases, throughout life. Humans are designed to grow and develop their childlike qualities, and not to become the ossified adults prescribed by society. Montagu demonstrates how our culture, schools, and families are in conspiracy against such childlike traits as the need to love, to learn, to wonder, to know, to explore, to think, to experiment, to be imaginative, creative and curious, to sing, dance, or play. He also reveals the many links between physical and mental aging and tells how to prevent psychosclerosis, the hardening of the mind, so that we can die young--as late as possible. The best statement ever written on the most important, neglected theme of human life and evolution.
