The Best Years of Your Life

Об эпизоде

<p>Aging isn’t just a biological process. Our outlooks and emotions also change as we age, often in ways that boost our well-being. This week, we revisit a favorite conversation with psychologist <a href="https://profiles.stanford.edu/laura-carstensen" rel="noopener noreferrer">Laura Carstensen</a>, who helps us unpack the science behind this surprising finding, and shares what all of us can learn from older people. Then, as part of our ongoing series "Your Questions Answered," we revisit our follow-up chat with Laura, who responds to listeners' thoughts and questions and shares more of her research on what it means to live well as we age.</p> <p><i>Come see Shankar in person and help us to celebrate Hidden Brain's tenth anniversary!
