Manage episode 516760169 series 3680601
To launch our new season on Aging Well, we’re joined by Ken Stern, nationally recognized expert on longevity, author, founder of the Longevity Project, and host of the podcast Century Lives.
In this episode we explore how longer lives challenge the way we think about the second half of life and prompt us to reimagine every aspect of society, from education and work to community and connection. Ken also shares incredible insights from his new book, Healthy to 100: How Strong Social Ties Lead to Long Lives, which captures the central theme of this season: that thriving as we age depends on the strength of our relationships and communities. Together, they explore how longevity science offers a hopeful roadmap for aging well in today’s world.
