Changing western society’s attitude about aging
What society often calls “aging” or “getting old” too easily dismisses the deeper, more humane maturity that has been blossoming and deepening within over decades of life experience.
Emotional intelligence, creativity, aspiration, resourcefulness, social skills, compassion, magnanimity, morality, perspective, and insight—these are just a few of the powerful virtues unique to us as human beings, revealed and refined over time.
Why “Radiant”?
“Perhaps it is time to allow our inner radiant qualities to be the radiant against society’s baser behaviours.”
–J Weeks
These human assets are increasingly sought by employers, communities, and leaders across every field of human endeavor. Why? Because these are the qualities that drive complex problem-solving, innovation, accountability, team performance, wiser decisions, and strategic vision.
Radiant 55 shines a light on these vital human assets—for a better today and the peaceful, vibrant future we are both capable of and worthy of.
It draws on life-span development models, social science, and emerging discoveries in human potential. While anchored around age 55 as a symbolic threshold of transformative recognition, Radiant 55 also stands as a beacon for those younger—inviting them to accelerate their own beautifully humane development.
