Successful Aging

After surveying approximately 4,000 peer-reviewed science journal articles, best-selling professor emeritus of psychology, neuroscience and music at McGill University, Daniel Levitin describes genetic, cultural and environmental factors that affect how you age. He demolishes destructive myths of aging and provides an invaluable list of factors under your control – such as diet, movement, social engagement and attitude – that fuel a long, healthy and productive final phase of life. 

Health Span

Fully 75% of people older than 75 “who ever lived” are alive now. You can influence your health and lifespan. Your genes matter, but even those, for example, suggesting a propensity for Alzheimer’s, activate depending on environment, circumstances, luck and the choices you make.
