What Does Good Look Like?

In the 2nd episode with Prof. Andrew Scott, we discuss how you can measure and manage your longevity assets, and how to design your life to stay younger for longer. We’ll also uncover the benefits of rejecting social norms, and why we are not paying enough attention to the positive side of ageing.

In this episode, we meet Andrew Scott, Professor of Economics from London Business School,  and co-author of the book ‘The 100-year Life’. Andrew is also a co-founder of The Longevity Forum, a not-for-profit initiative committed to achieving longer, healthier and more fulfilled lives for as many people as possible. Learn more about the difference between biological and chronological age, the invention of teenagers, and why we should think about things such as knowledge, friendships and health as assets.

Will and Anna explore how we can all stay ‘Younger for Longer’, meeting with experts from a range of medical, diagnostic and behavioural fields who you wouldn’t normally hear from in everyday healthcare. Many of us will live much longer than previous generations did, and this podcast looks at what this means in practical terms and how this change affects our view of health, what we call health(y) care: throughout the whole of life. Speaking to a range of experts who not only think about, but work with real people in an effort to solve problems or improve their health. This ranges from hard medical science exploring diagnostics and interventions to the magic of behavioural science, where small changes can have large effects.
