Successful Aging

In 'Successful Aging', Daniel J. Levitin explores the science behind aging, using research from developmental neuroscience and the psychology of individual differences.

He reveals resilience strategies and practical, cognitive-enhancing tricks to help people age joyously.

The book confirms that 'health span' is more important than 'life span', and it proves that sixty-plus years is a unique and newly recognized developmental stage.

Levitin emphasizes the importance of social interaction, healthy practices, and meaningful work or volunteering to maintain mental and physical well-being.

The book is divided into three parts: 'The Continually Developing Brain', 'The Choices We Make', and 'The New Longevity', providing a comprehensive approach to aging positively.
