39. Ageing

We are still in the South of Spain (on the last morning before flying out), and we are tackling a topic which somehow has come up quite a lot this week: Ageing. (There are a lot of retired people in this part of Spain). We discuss the differences between chronological, mental and biological age. We talk about the benefits of hanging out with people that are half a generation older and half a generation younger than oneself. We discuss the concept of settling point: The point in one’s life when one stops learning, being curious and adventurous. We briefly discuss longevity, lifespan and healthspan. We argue that you are never too old to grow as a human being, whether mentally, emotionally or spiritually.
