The Longevity Revolution

The Benefits & Challenges of Living a Long Life

A pioneering, Pulitzer Prize-winning doctor reflects on the recent unprecedented leap in human life expectancy - and what we must do to take advantage of it.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Why Survive: Being Old in America and founder, president and CEO of the International Longevity Center-USA (ILC-USA), Dr. Robert Butler coined the term "ageism" and made "Alzheimer's" a familiar word. Now he brings his formidable knowledge and experience in aging issues to a recent and unprecedented achievement: the extension of human life expectancy by thirty years. As Butler shows, our society has not yet adapted to this change.
