How do more and more people manage to maintain their mental and physical performance even in old age and clearly stand out from their peers? In this book, you will gain comprehensive insights into the fascinating phenomenon of successful ageing, which is examined from both a medical and sociological perspective.

This book takes you through the current state of research and shows which factors contribute to belonging to the group of superagers. It presents practical approaches that everyone can take to positively influence their own ageing. The author combines the latest scientific findings with concrete recommendations for everyday life and makes it clear that successful ageing is not just a gift from the genes, but also the result of conscious decisions. Find out how research helps us to understand the mechanisms behind successful ageing and how you can take action yourself to stay vital and mentally fit into old age. This book offers a unique, comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to discover the secrets of superaging and apply them to their own life.
