Episode Description
"Fresh and Inspiring Perspectives on Living to 100" encourages listeners to "turn aging on its head," with perspectives on aging successfully, overcoming obstacles, and starting new chapters. The talk focuses on how to maintain a positive outlook about our future, whether we're still running marathons or confined to a wheelchair. We talk about thinking styles, lessons for longevity from the Blue Zones, maintaining meaning and purpose, how exceptions can lift depression, and projecting new self-definitions on a blank screen. Listeners are invited to take control of their future, stay positive in their outlook, and commit to moving forward no matter how many bumps we encounter along the way. The guest host for this episode is Dr. Joe Casciani, curator of the Living to 100 Club. We invite you to join us for a motivating discussion about living to 100.
