Dr. Laura Carstensen on Aging and Lifespan

This week, Brent speaks with Dr. Laura Carstensen, a Stanford psychologist and leading expert on aging, to explore how our priorities, emotions, and relationships change over time. She explains the science behind why people often become happier and more emotionally stable as they get older, and how shifting time horizons reshape the way we make decisions and spend our time. The conversation also challenges common assumptions about aging, highlighting what actually improves with age and how social connection plays a central role in long-term health. She's a wonderful guest, hope you enjoy.
