Laura Carstensen, founding director of the Stanford University Center on Longevity, discusses the implications of longer lifespans. She argues for reframing aging as an opportunity for emotional well-being, emphasizing that happiness often increases with age. The conversation also explores the need to rethink life stages to better support older adults and address mental health stigma. Carstensen highlights the importance of adapting societal norms as we approach a future where living to 100 becomes the norm, allowing both older and younger generations to flourish.
