Forever Young

The secret to positive aging may be simpler, and more fun, than you think! Aging may be inevitable, but feeling old is completely optional. In this lively presentation, retired psychologist Dr. David Aycock explores the surprising science behind “subjective age” – how young we feel versus how old we are. Drawing from large-scale studies and real-world stories, he reveals research showing that feeling younger than your chronological age isn’t denial, it’s a powerful predictor of better health, sharper thinking, and longer life! Dr. Aycock highlights the mental, emotional, and physical benefits of embracing a youthful mindset while also offering a few cautionary notes about pushing the illusion too far. With humor, research, and a dash of Don Quixote, he shows how playfulness, perspective, and everyday joy can bring youthfulness to how we experience life. Join us to discover why thinking young might just be one of the healthiest habits you can adopt as he leaves you smiling, inspired, and ready to reclaim your inner vitality!
