The Connection with Marty Moss-CoaneRedefining how we ageIn 1900, the average person could expect to live until their 47th birthday. By 2000, life expectancy was 77 years, an extraordinary gain of 30 years over the course of a century! Using those same metrics, many children today will live to be 100.
So now that more people are living longer, is it time to rethink the aging process? What do we do with those extra years, how do we rebalance work, education and family life and create quality out of quantity?
There are challenges that come with getting older, most notably loss and there are opportunities for growth...

This effect is an age-related preference for positive information over negative information. The effect was identified by testing the hypothesis that goals change as people grow older, and emotionally meaningful goals take precedence over such things as information-seeking. The brain operates in the service of goals and attention is directed to goals that are emotional and positive.
