Episode 2238: Andrew J. Scott explains how to age with grace and wisdom, by @ajkeen open.substack.com/pub/keenon…
Can one age with grace and wisdom? Yes, according to Andrew J. Scott, author of the Longevity Imperative, one of the six books on the Financial Times’ illustrious short list for best business books of the year . For Scott, aging in the 21st century requires a sharp shift in both personal and public policy attitudes to “old age”. No, we can’t live forever, he reminds us, but we do need to make the necessary social, political and economic adjustments to enable us to enjoy the increasingly longer lives most of us now take for granted. Rather than medicalizing old age, he argues, we need to normalize it so that its a central feature of, rather than an epilogue to, the good life. Wise words from one of the world’s leading authorities on aging.

People are living much longer. As that trend continues, how will our lives, society, and economy change? My conversation with @ProfAndrewScott about his new book, “The Longevity Imperative”:
