U.S. Life Expectancy Hits 79: Are We Making the Most of the Extra Years?

from The Daily Note with James A. Brown

American life expectancy has reached an all-time high of 79 years, and James Brown wants to know if we're using that time well. Progress against heart disease, cancer, and drug overdoses is driving the numbers up, but longer lives don't automatically mean more meaningful ones. James draws on his own family experience to make the case that adding years and adding purpose are two very different things.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
