The final chapter discusses whether or not hippies age differently or better than other older adults.It suggests two complementary perspectives: The perceptions of the researched individuals that emphasize healthy lifestyle, engagement, and social support; and the researcher’s viewpoint, which stresses identity work, generativity, play, spirituality, and psychological sense of community.
