A unique gathering of curious minds to discuss scientific literature found in research-based journals or books. Participants will review designated readings beforehand and discuss over coffee.
Older adulthood can be a time of adventure, productivity, growth and joy. Healthy lifestyle choices and early treatment of illness are important for a satisfying “third stage.” However, researchers are now finding that psychological well-being and positive attitudes about aging are important as well. In this session, we will explore Dr. Becca Levy’s research-based book, Breaking the Age Code, (with quick looks at other gerontologists’ findings) for the ways our life experiences, cultures and beliefs contribute to “positive aging.” Reading the book prior to the discussion is strongly recommended.
