About this podcast
Do rules created when most people lived only to 50 or 60 still make sense when more and more people live to 100? Longer lives are among the most remarkable achievements in all of human history — and the greatest challenge of the 21st century. How can we ensure that our lives are not just longer, but healthy and rewarding as well? From the Stanford Century on Longevity, Century Lives is here to start the conversation. Join us as we venture into the world of education, work, healthcare, housing, and more to explore how our future as a population of centenarians has already begun.
