Living Wide: Rethinking How We Measure Our Lives
Manage episode 480829774 series 3549183
What if we've been measuring our lives all wrong? In this thought-provoking conversation with David Delrahim, we challenge conventional thinking about aging and longevity, exploring the profound concept that life's value lies in its width rather than its length.
Delrahim shares wisdom that transcends cultural boundaries, including the saying, "life is not about the length, it's about the width." This perspective invites us to reconsider how we approach each day of our existence. Rather than viewing age as a limiting factor, Delrahim encourages seeing it as merely a measurement tool—a counter of time that needn't define our capabilities or mindset.
Whether you're contemplating your own relationship with aging or seeking inspiration for living more fully at any stage of life, this episode offers valuable insights for breaking free from age-based limitations and embracing each day as an opportunity for meaning, growth, and celebration. Join us in discovering how to live wide rather than just living long.
From the producers of PBS's American Health Journal and Innovations in Medicine. Thank you for listening to Better Wellness.
