Скачать или смотреть 118: A neuroscientist’s guide to ageing well, with Dr Daniel Levitin (Audio Version)

Ever wondered what a neuroscientist thinks of ageing? This podcast is a neuroscientist’s guide to ageing.

In recent months, we have discussed the idea of ageing well and longevity a few times.

This week, we bring the topic back but with a slight twist.

Joining me this week is Dr Daniel Levitin.

Dr Daniel Levitin is a neuroscientist, musician and author. 15 years after dropping out of Massachusetts Institute of Technology to follow a career in music, Dr Levitin realised he no longer wanted to be part of the music industry and needed a career that was a bit more financially stable.

He went back to university and not only completed his bachelor’s degree but went all the way to getting his doctorate.

He is now the author of five books, His most recent book The Changing Mind looks into debunking some of the myths of ageing. From memory loss, to the ability to continue learning and creating new neurons, the book is a reminder that ageing isn’t as bad as it is made out to be, and that it is just a process of the mind changing.

In our conversation we chat about how he went from being a rather successful musician, to becoming a neuroscientist, we delve into the myths of ageing and what the truth really is, and Dr Levitin shares with us some personal stories which lead him to life changing realisations.

We also discuss how Dr Levitin recently returned to music, and the journey he has been on to record his own album. The release of his second album is pending.
