Join us on Thursday, January 28th at 6:30pm for a virtual event with Daniel J. Levitin as he discusses Successful Aging:  A Neuroscientist Explores the Power and Potential of Our Lives. He will be in conversation with Dr. Moira Gunn, host of Tech Nation and BioTech Nation.

We encourage a $5 contribution which may be used towards the purchase of Successful Aging:  A Neuroscientist Explores the Power and Potential of Our Lives.The first 20 customers who purchase the book will be able to participate in the Q&A portion of the event.

Successful Aging  delivers powerful insights: 
 • Debunking the myth that memory always declines with age 
 • Confirming that "health span"—not "life span"—is what matters 
 • Proving that sixty-plus years is a unique and newly recognized developmental stage 
 • Recommending that people look forward to joy, as reminiscing doesn't promote health

Levitin looks at the science behind what we all can learn from those who age joyously, as well as how to adapt our culture to take full advantage of older people's wisdom and experience. Throughout his exploration of what aging really means, using research from developmental neuroscience and the psychology of individual differences, Levitin reveals resilience strategies and practical, cognitive- enhancing tricks everyone should do as they age. 

Successful Aging inspires a powerful new approach to how readers think about our final decades, and it will revolutionize the way we plan for old age as individuals, family members, and citizens within a society where the average life expectancy continues to rise.
