The Wonderful Assets to Getting Older with Social Gerontologist Jeanette Leardi
Manage episode 438521630 series 3598344
There is so much to unpack in my interview with Jeanette. Did you know that our brains improve with age? Hmm . . . . And did you know that the population is growing older, with a 50/50 chance that someone born today will live until she is 100? Why should we be “put out to pasture” when we’re 65: there is so much that older people can add to the workplace and to society as a whole. But ageism is alive and well. By the time kids are three, they are already conditioned to see older people as wacky, limited, and infirm. Jeanette explains why and offers steps we can take to change the narrative. She writes on her website, “There are some really wonderful assets to getting older. And it’s about time everyone hears that story.” www.jeanetteleardi.com
