Death, Public Speaking, and Seniors' Homes - For more on Paul Kedrosky visit paul.kedrosky.com

Lots of us like to blithely retail the cliche about people being more afraid of public speaking than death, but I was caught up abruptly by an analogous finding in scanning some market research today on senior citizens in America:

When asked what they fear most, seniors rated loss of independence (26%) and moving out of home into a nursing home (13%) as their greatest fears. Death was cited as the greatest fear for just 3% of seniors.

Sad, and thought-provoking.
