A Neuroscientist's Guide to Ageing Well
A NEW YORK TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

The secrets of ageing well ... a serious, evidence-based guide to what really works and why' Sunday Times
____________________________________________
We have long been encouraged to think of old age as synonymous with a decline in skills. Yet recent studies show that our decision making improves as we age, and our happiness levels peak in our eighties. What really happens to our brains as we get older?
In The Changing Mind, neuroscientist, psychologist and internationally bestselling author Daniel Levitin invites us to dramatically shift our understanding of aging, demonstrating its many cognitive benefits. He draws on cutting-edge research to offer realistic guidelines and practical cognition-enhancing tricks for everyone to follow during every decade of their life, and show us what we all can learn from those who age joyously.
