Learning about successful aging in this chapter gives me a reason to feel more optimistic about aging because, in the book, it states that “everyone wants to age “successful,” although we may differ in how we define successful aging.

Until Kristen Lowry, her colleague, and David Snowdon talked about their ideas and research.…
