What if the way you think about aging could actually change how you age?
In Breaking the Age Code, Yale professor and leading researcher Becca Levy, PhD, draws on decades of pioneering work to reveal a stunning truth: our beliefs about getting older shape everything from our memory and mobility to how long we live. According to Dr. Levy’s research, people with positive age beliefs live, on average, 7.5 years longer than those with negative ones.
That’s not a typo. That’s science.
Part eye-opening research, part practical guide, this book pulls together studies from around the world to show how ageism quietly shapes our lives, and how we can push back. Dr. Levy offers tools to reframe stubborn stereotypes, build healthier habits of mind, and reimagine what later life can look like.
Critics have called it “a vital, paradigm-shifting book” and “required reading for anyone who plans to grow older,” which, last we checked, is all of us. Readers have described it as both deeply researched and surprisingly hopeful, the kind of book you finish and immediately want to press into a friend’s hands.
Perfect for fans of The Blue Zones, Being Mortal, or anyone curious about the surprising connection between mindset and longevity.
Curl up with this one on a quiet afternoon, maybe with the sound of gulls drifting in from the cove, and let it shift the way you think about every birthday to come.
A genuinely life-changing read. We mean that.
