Bruce Grierson is happiest when he’s outside. The Vancouver-based writer specializes in the physiology and psychology of aging. His latest book on the subject, What Makes Olga Run?, was published in 2014. His work has also appeared in New York Times Magazine, the Pacific Standard and on Psychologytoday.com. In “Yes, Ageism Is Bad for Your Health” (pg. 48), he explores the impact of ageist attitudes. Writer and former Chatelaine editorin-chief Rona Maynard describes herself as a keen road tripper who once toured 49 art museums in less than six weeks. A mental-health advocate and author, her first memoir and New York Times bestseller My Mother’s Daughter was published in 2008. For her second memoir, she’s expanding on “It’s a Dog’s (and Your) Life” (pg. 54) about later-in-life pet ownership and its benefits.
