What do you get better at with age?

from Do you really know? Hosted by Bababam

You might think that ageing is all about decline and deterioration, but that’s not the whole story. In fact, there are many aspects of life that improve as we grow older, such as happiness, wisdom, relationships, and even some cognitive skills. “Our societal narrative is not based on science – it’s based entirely on prejudice. Contrary to popular myth, we never stop learning or growing new brain connections.” says Daniel Levitin, professor of neuroscience at McGill University, who sought to challenge people's ideas on ageing in his book ‘The Changing Mind’. What are some of the things that get better in your 40s? And later in life? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
