The idea that your mind has to decline with age is false - and there is plenty we can do to keep it sharp

Neuroscientist Levitin delves into the multiple-trace theory of memory, the ageing microbiome, fats and the brain, the impacts of neural implants, and the joys of non-retirement. A clear-eyed, insightful overview of the neurophysiological healthspan

Delivers welcome news about the ageing brain: it is happier, quicker and often much healthier than you may imagine

Daniel Levitin's refreshing perspective on ageing will change your opinion on this unique phase of life and challenge the 'slowing down' stereotype. Using a scientific and thoroughly engaging approach, Levitin convinces us that with medical advances alongside positive lifestyle changes described in this book, we can all look forward to older age as a fulfilling and exciting chapter in our lives

This is a book that can make things feel a whole lot brighter

A wise, insightful, and beautifully-written book on how we can navigate the waters of time. Helpful for readers at any age.

Predictions are perilous, but here's one I can make with certainty: Tomorrow you and I will be older than we are today. That's why you, I, and everyone we know needs this remarkable book. With a scientist's rigour and a storyteller's flair, Daniel Levitin offers a fresh approach to growing older. He debunks the idea that ageing inevitably brings infirmity and unhappiness and instead offers a trove of practical, evidence-based guidance for living longer and better. The Changing Mind is an essential book for the rest of your life.

A compelling primer on our amazingly dynamic brains and the steps we can all take to harness that potential

An uplifting exploration of the brain, and how it does not age as we often fear
