Gerontologist Dr Amanda Smith Barusch argues it's time for older adults to embrace grumpyness.

In Aging Angry: Making Peace with Rage the University of Otago and University of Utah Emeritus Professor looks at how some of us get angrier as we get older, and how it can benefit us.

Barusch is a former Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Gerontological Social Work, and is Deputy Editor-in-Chief for the Australasian Journal on Ageing.
