Becoming Zestie: 9 Pathways to Enriching Your Life

Wednesday, February 12 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm

Via Zoom

Based on 20 years of research, this presentation shows people what successful aging is and how it can be achieved. Aging successfully is not dependent on health and it is not a personality trait. It’s a way of living that anyone can learn. Aging successfully doesn’t depend on wealth, good genes, or miracle supplements. It is a way of thinking, doing, and connecting - behaviors that can be learned at an age. These behaviors are at the heart of “Becoming Zestie” a bold new book for people who are tired of gimmicks and ready to rethink what aging successfully can actually look like.
