The Complete Lawyer, a legal publication distributed to bar members in several states, just published an article on Ten Important Truths About Aging: How we age is at least partially under our control, By Elkhonon Goldberg and Alvaro Fernandez.

We were happy to contribute to the ongoing debate about ethics and aging in the legal profession, building on our previous post on the topic.

What are those "Ten Truths"? Well, here you are the outline:

Neuropsychology Indicates That We Can Control Our Aging
Aging Means Lifelong Development, Not Automatic Decline
Some Skills Improve With Age
Some Skills Need To Be Continuously Nurtured And Trained
Not All Instances Of Forgetting Are Of Equal Concern
We Are In Control, To A Large Extent
There Are Four “Pillars Of Brain Health”
Cross-Training Our Brains Builds Up Cognitive Reserve
Computer-Based Brain Exercise Programs Can Help
Embrace “Good” Stress; Eliminate “Bad” Stress
Retirement Is Overrated

Here is the full article: Ten Important Truths About Aging. We hope you enjoy it. The implications, for people of all ages, are simply astounding. Another related post is The way we age now.

We are looking for more opportunities to reach more people with these important topics, so let us know if you have ideas!
