We have long been encouraged to think of old age as synonymous with a decline in skills. Yet recent studies show that our decision making improves as we age, and our happiness levels peak in our eighties. What really happens to our brains as we get older?

In The Changing Mind (published in America as Successful Aging), neuroscientist and internationally bestselling author Daniel Levitin invites us to dramatically shift our understanding of aging, demonstrating the many benefits of growing older. He draws on cutting-edge research to offer realistic guidelines and practical tips for readers to follow during every decade of life, showing us we all can learn from those who age joyously. Find out:

-Why the story that older people don't need as many hours of sleep is a myth
-What part environment, behaviour and luck play in how our brains age
-How to increase the proportion of your life span spent in good health and decrease the time you spend sick
-What you can do to maintain strength of body, mind and spirit whilst coping with the limitations of aging

Combining science and storytelling, The Changing Mind is a radically new way to think about aging.
