Focusing on the aging mind, this book presents a positive view of mental decline, emphasizing the growth of "wisdom" as individuals age. Neuropsychologist Elkhonon Goldberg reveals that while singular memory diminishes, generic memory thrives, allowing older adults to leverage accumulated knowledge and experience for effective decision-making. He explores the neurobiology behind wisdom and highlights historical figures whose most significant contributions occurred later in life, challenging the stigma around cognitive aging.
