How to Live to 100 (or Die Trying)

Longevity in the land of ageism


Listen Later

What if we all looked forward to growing old? Embracing age is a new trend among some millennials and really, why not? That cohort has already given us body positivity, so aiming high, in years, is surely the next trend. Unless it crashes into the wall of ageism.
