This article deals with the presentation of old age in the educational literature for the elderly published in the Czech Republic after the year 1995. The educational type of literature is specified as covering handbooks that propose individual strategies and recommend a specific life-style for old age. The theoretical part of the study presents aging as an individual as well as societal experience, which must be understood in a new social and cultural context. The interpretative analysis looks at the themes of general life style, health and disease, and sexuality. These themes were discussed in the analysed literature on the basis of arguments about the possibility to affect the process of individual aging, with an emphasis on self-responsibility and health maintenance. Educational literature for elderly people represents a type of social acquisition, which is intended to help people achieve the ideal of a new type of aging
