Abstract
The notion of successful ageing has been one of the most successful but also one of the most controversial concepts of ageing research over the last 60 years. Attempts to uncover the secret of successful ageing have often resembled something like a quest for the Golden Fleece. And that quest continues within contemporary gerontology—so far with no end in sight. As shown in this introductory chapter, human history is full of strivings to live a youthful life without end. Still, controversies over successful ageing continue. In the following chapters of the book various conceptual models are analysed, and strategies and interventions for successful ageing discussed.
