Praise for Successful Aging
“Predictions are perilous, but here's one I can make with certainty: Tomorrow you and I will be older than we are today. That’s why you, I, and everyone we know needs this remarkable book. With a scientist’s rigor and a storyteller’s flair, Daniel Levitin offers a fresh approach to growing older. He debunks the idea that aging inevitably brings infirmity and unhappiness and instead offers a trove of practical, evidence-based guidance for living longer and better. SUCCESSFUL AGING is an essential book for the rest of your life.”-Daniel H. Pink, author of When and Drive

"Daniel Levitin explores a wealth of information on the complex biology of aging and presents it in an engaging and accessible manner. Writing with insight, compassion and gentle humor he shows us the positive side of the aging process and how to make the most of the future that awaits us. Essential reading for baby boomers and those who love them.?"-Drs. Pamela Harzband & Jerome Groopman, Professors, Harvard Medical School, authors of Your Medical Mind

“This is the book I need now. This is probably the book YOU need now. Levitin beautifully weaves hard science with more subtle, subjective agents of change- compassion, friendship, the redemptive power of work-into a refreshing guide for those of us navigating the penultimate stage of life.”-Rosanne Cash, Four-time Grammy winning singer and songwriter, author of Composed

“A wise, insightful, and beautifully written book on how we can navigate the waters of time. Helpful for readers at any age.”-Daniel Gilbert, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of Stumbling on Happiness

"Debunks the idea that aging inevitably brings infirmity and unhappiness and instead offers a trove of practical, evidence-based guidance for living longer and better."?Daniel H. Pink, author of When and Drive

SUCCESSFUL AGING delivers powerful insights:

* Debunking the myth that memory always declines with age
* Confirming that "health span"-not "life span"-is what matters
* Proving that sixty-plus years is a unique and newly recognized developmental stage
* Recommending that people look forward to joy, as reminiscing doesn't promote health

Levitin looks at the science behind what we all can learn from those who age joyously, as well as how to adapt our culture to take full advantage of older people's wisdom and experience. Throughout his exploration of what aging really means, using research from developmental neuroscience and the psychology of individual differences, Levitin reveals resilience strategies and practical, cognitive enhancing tricks everyone should do as they age.

Successful Aging inspires a powerful new approach to how readers think about our final decades, and it will revolutionize the way we plan for old age as individuals, family members, and citizens within a society where the average life expectancy continues to rise.
