In this myth-busting episode of Psychology & Stuff, Dr. Abigail Nehrkorn-Bailey dives into the science of aging and dismantles some of our culture’s most persistent misconceptions. She and host Dr. Alison Jane Martingano explore why aging isn’t just decline, how learning and brain development continue throughout life, and why older adults are often happier than we expect. They also discuss ageism, emotional well-being, retirement, and how our beliefs about aging can actually shape our health and longevity.
