The World as You’ll Know It: The Future Of Aging

Getting the Most From Our Extra 30 Years


Listen Later

For over a century, we’ve been in the midst of a revolution in longevity – one that is unprecedented in human history. More than a quarter century has been added to the average lifespan since the 1900s.  How should individuals and society make the most of this time? How can we rethink education, careers, healthcare, and retirement in light of our longer lives? In the season finale of The World As You’ll Know It: The Future of Aging, we speak with psychologist Laura Carstensen and economist Andrew J. Scott about what it will take to maximize those extra 30 years we’ve gained  – not just in old age, but throughout our lifetimes.
