Aging for Mortals

What if we started from the knowledge that, no matter what, we will die? And that if we're lucky, we'll grow old first? How would that change how we live? How would that change our politics? Professor Albert Banerjee shares what he's learned from talking to people in hospice and living in a yogic Ashram in the Himalayas. You'll hear about the costs of a society that avoids death and how to make choices that really matter.
