Just changing the way you think about getting older can add 7.6 years to your life.

Esteemed Yale professor Dr Becca Levy is the world’s leading expert and pioneer in the field of ageing.
'Will shatter some of your basic assumptions about ageing' - Adam Grant

Why do some people age better and live longer than others?

This is the question that led leading expert and researcher Dr Becca Levy to discover a fascinating truth: just changing the way you think about ageing can add years to your life.

In Breaking the Age Code, Dr Levy draws on pioneering research to offer stunning revelations about the mind-body connection. She demonstrates that many aspects of ageing we consider to be natural, such as memory loss, hearing decline and cardiovascular events, are in fact influenced by our own negative biases, often informed by cultural ageism. She tackles head on how we can shift these outdated ideas at a societal level and what we can do to help ourselves.

Positive, practical and full of fresh insights, Breaking the Age Code will dismantle your assumptions about how we get older and leave you looking forward to what the future holds.

'Breaking the Age Code is less a self-help manual than a manifesto for a revolution' - Anna Maxted, The Times
