The Changing Mind
The Changing Mind: A Neuroscientist's Guide to Ageing Well | Daniel Levitin
4 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
What if the best was yet to come? Recent studies show that our happiness levels peak at age 82, and that our decision-making skills improve as we age. As more of us live past the age of 80, in this ground-breaking book, Dr Daniel Levitin uses cutting-edge research from neuroscience and psychology to demonstrate the benefits of getting older. Packed with engaging interviews with individuals who thrived far beyond the conventional age of retirement, this book also reflects on challenges many readers will recognize. Levitin offers a realistic personal plan full of practical, cognitive enhancing tricks for everyone to follow over the years. Successful Ageing is a radical exploration of what we all can learn from those who age joyously. This book will revolutionize the way we plan for old age as individuals, family members, and citizens of a society in which the average life expectancy continues to rise.

The author looks at what happens to us as we become older adults from the points of view of neurophysiology and psychology. There were times when I was thinking “Not ANOTHER bloody chemical“ but the book has lots of insights, some scientifically based and some more anecdotal, about what we can expect and what genetic, cultural, and personal factors help make the experience of old age a positive one.
