Show Notes

Gerontologist Dr Kerry Burnight joins Liz to explain why your beliefs about ageing could add or subtract years from your life – and introduce the concept of "joy span" as the missing measure between lifespan and healthspan. They discuss the four research-backed practices that predict thriving at any age, why loneliness is as harmful as smoking 14 cigarettes a day, and how finding purpose is simpler (and more powerful) than you think.
