THE SECRET TO SUCCESSFUL AGING

I have my Google Alert on 'Successful Aging' with feedforward on a weekly basis. I just got one good one from them.

Dr. Bill Thomas, author of 'What Are Old People For?', has recently delivered his presentation, entitled “Beyond the Gero-sphere”, at a conference on positive aging in St Petersberg in Florida.

A quick snapshot on his presentation has been captured at this weblink.

What fascinates most is this revelation:

According to Dr. Thomas, the secret to successful aging is to walk, act, talk, & behave like a young person.

How about that?

I fully concur with Dr Thomas' exhortation, because I know that the brain can't tell the difference between a 'real' experience from an 'imagined' experience. This is based on the pioneering work in 'image of achievement' by Dr Karl Pribram.

Also, it works because of the powerful concept of 'modeling', as in neurolinguistic programming.
