La nueva longevidad no es vivir más, sino mejor, diferente, plenos, partícipes e integrados. Y eso depende de los hábitos, los proyectos y la propia actitud. Diego Bernardini comparte su experiencia vivencial con personas mayores y propone su mirada de la vida. Muchas veces leemos que podríamos vivir hasta cien años y más también. Incluso ya hay quienes hablan de la inmortalidad del ser humano. ¿Pero qué hay de lo concreto de llegar, rondar y/o atravesar la barrera de los cincuenta? Una cifra simbólica, el medio siglo. Un momento en el que no somos mayores ni jóvenes y donde un horizonte real obliga a repensar nuestro porvenir. Una etapa en la que nunca es tarde para diseñar el proyecto vital. Un tiempo en el que, por primera vez, la longevidad es una experiencia colectiva. A casi todos les tocará transitarla. La nueva longevidad no es vivir más, sino hacerlo mejor, diferente, plenos, partícipes e integrados, y mucho de ello depende de los hábitos, los proyectos y la propia actitud. Diego Bernardini comparte su experiencia vivencial con personas mayores y propone su mirada de la vida, que junto a la evidencia científica se convierten en recursos necesarios para construir un camino para celebrar la vida hasta lo más tarde posible. ¡Bienvenidos a la segunda mitad! ¡Bienvenidos a la nueva longevidad!

In his landmark book How We Die, Sherwin B. Nuland profoundly altered our perception of the end of life. Now in The Art of Aging, Dr. Nuland steps back to explore the impact of aging on our minds and bodies, strivings and relationships. Melding a scientist’s passion for truth with a humanist’s understanding of the heart and soul, Nuland has created a wise, frank, and inspiring book about the ultimate stage of life’s journey. The onset of aging can be so gradual that we are often surprised to find that one day it is fully upon us. The changes to the senses, appearance, reflexes, physical endurance, and sexual appetites are undeniable–and rarely welcome–and yet, as Nuland shows, getting older has its surprising blessings. Age concentrates not only the mind, but the body’s energies, leading many to new sources of creativity, perception, and spiritual intensity. Growing old, Nuland teaches us, is not a disease but an art–and for those who practice it well, it can bring extraordinary rewards. “I’m taking the journey even while I describe it,” writes Nuland, now in his mid-seventies and a veteran of nearly four decades of medical practice. Drawing on his own life and work, as well as the lives of friends both famous and not, Nuland portrays the astonishing variability of the aging experience. Faith and inner strength, the deepening of personal relationships, the realization that career does not define identity, the acceptance that some goals will remain unaccomplished–these are among the secrets of those who age well. Will scientists one day fulfill the dream of eternal youth? Nuland examines the latest research into extending life and the scientists who are pursuing it. But ultimately, what compels him most is what happens to the mind and spirit as life reaches its culminating decades. Reflecting the wisdom of a long lifetime, The Art of Aging is a work of luminous insight, unflinching candor, and profound compassion.

A fascinating look at the way we age today and the extent to which we can shape the process In What Makes Olga Run? Bruce Grierson explores what the wild success of a ninety-four-year-old track star can tell us about how our bodies and minds age. Olga Kotelko is not your average ninety-four-year-old. She not only looks and acts like a much younger woman, she holds over twenty-three world records in track and field, seventeen in her current ninety to ninety-five category. Convinced that this remarkable woman could help unlock many of the mysteries of aging, Grierson set out to uncover what it is that's driving Olga. He considers every piece of the puzzle, from her diet and sleep habits to how she scores on various personality traits, from what she does in her spare time to her family history. Olga participates in tests administered by some of the world's leading scientists and offers her DNA to groundbreaking research trials. What emerges is not only a tremendously uplifting personal story but a look at the extent to which our health and longevity are determined by the DNA we inherit at birth, and the extent to which we can shape that inheritance. It examines the sum of our genes, opportunities, and choices, and the factors that forge the course of any life, especially during our golden years.
