The New Old: Redefining Aging in the 21st Century
In today's world, growing older isn't what it used to be. We now expect a longer, more active life than our parents' and grandparents' generations.
This episode dives into how the stages of life have evolved over the past century and introduces two thought leaders, Chip Conley and Barbara Waxman, who have reshaped how we view aging.
Covering how life expectancy has shifted from the early 1900s to now, how adolescence was discovered, and why midlife is no longer just a pit stop. We discuss "Middlescence," a new life stage that mirrors adolescence but in reverse, and how this transitional period can help us prepare for a fulfilling second half of life.
Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, this video offers empowering insights on how to embrace midlife and beyond. Discover the concept of wisdom workers, the importance of mentorship, and why aging in the 21st century is more about growing whole than growing old.
