Community Conversations
at the Park Slope Center for Successful Aging
John Leland
Author of the New York Times Bestseller Book “Happiness Is a Choice You Make: Lessons from a Year Among the Oldest Old”
In Conversation with
Judy Willig
Executive Director of Heights and Hills and Advocate for Successful Aging
When journalist John Leland set out to chronicle a year in the lives of six New Yorkers age 85 and older, he was prepared to write about the challenges of aging. What he found, beyond the challenges, was that each lived with surprising lightness and contentment – upending the usual notions of aging.
Join author John Leland and Judy Willig, advocate for successful aging, as they discuss the fact that “aging” is a process that begins when we are born. Share John’s realization that the power of “gratitude and resilience and purpose” can make a positive difference in our lives at every age.
