In conversation with Roxana Robinson.

Tickets $15: Include a complimentary glass of house wine, beer or non alcoholic beverage plus a $5 voucher towards the purchase of YOUNGER FOREVER at this event.
Chris Crowley took his own advice thirty years ago and now, at ninety-one, he's a superager, a new category among serious students of longevity. With good humor (a must!) and wisdom, Crowley mixes his knowledge of health and fitness with his personal experience navigating his own "third act" to lay out what to do now to boost our odds later, what to expect as we age, and how to cope with it. He urges us to identify our best gifts and figure out how to use them in retirement, embrace modern medicine, plan ahead for the inevitable and many other simple actions that will nurture happiness, health, and engagement well into our nineties.
