Gerontologist, Dr. Kerry Burnight, is sparking a global revolution to make older better.
Fed up with the fear-driven, anti-aging hysteria, millions of people turn to “Dr. Kerry” for her proven approach to navigating longevity. Her New York Times best-selling book, Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half is for anyone who is aging - and we are ALL aging. Whether you are 23 or 93, the key to good longevity isn’t the length of your life, it’s the quality of your life.
Efforts to maximize lifespan and even healthspan don’t address the whole picture. Longevity doesn't mean much if you don’t like your life. Burnight introduces the critical concept, joyspan based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, choice, and purpose.
Dr. Burnight taught Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology for 18 years at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. Burnight's work has been featured in The New York Times, CBS Mornings, The Guardian, Oprah Daily, BBC News, and Forbes Health.
