Lessons for an Aging World
For the first time in history, there are more people on the planet over 65 years old, than under five. How do we adapt to this demographic transformation? Camilla Cavendish, award-winning journalist and former Director of Public Policy for UK Prime Minister David Cameron, joins Azeem Azhar to explore the immense cost and new potential of this brave old world.
They discuss:
- The huge wealth gap opening up between older and younger people.
- What we can learn from the Okinawan concept of “ikigai” or “life purpose”.
- Why meaningful relationships are the single most important factor in long-term wellbeing.
