It's a good message (ageism isn't just discriminatory, it negatively impacts health) with maybe a long article's or a booklet's worth of data to support it. Through cutting edge science, and memorable stories, she shares a new view of aging that will change how we age. She demonstrates that many aspects of ageing we consider to be natural, such as memory loss, hearing decline and cardiovascular events, are in fact influenced by our own negative biases, often informed by cultural ageism.
Dozens of my own friends and acquaintances from 50-90 are as healthy, happy, productive and active as I am. She gave a lot of specific examples as to what a person could do to change their own beliefs and also ideas on how to combat ageism in society. But the topic of this book is very much an issue for people of all ages, I would have liked to have been more aware of these issues decades ago.

She tackles head on how we can shift these outdated ideas at a societal level and what we can do to help ourselves. Becca Levy has done a masterful job of describing the importance of aging beliefs on health and wellbeing at both the individual and societal level.

But the selective presentation, for example, of the glories of centenarian worship in Japan without much mention of the fish and vegetables based diet and low level of obesity in the periods studied raised questions. Positive, practical and full of fresh insights, Breaking the Age Code will dismantle your assumptions about how we get older and leave you looking forward to what the future holds. Fascinating, inspiring, and moving, this book holds one of the precious keys to a healthy aging society. I particularly loved the advice to reframe a belief about older people as being about a different marginalized group.The often-surprising results of Levy's science offer stunning revelations about the mind-body connection.
