Win Free Tickets to the May 15 Speak to Me Event in Mill Valley

Speak to Me, Marin's premiere series of intelligent, inspiring speaking events for women, presents "A Long Bright Future," a discussion with Laura Carstensen, Ph. D., director of the Stanford Center on Longevity, professor of psychology and public policy, and author of A Long Bright Future: Happiness, Health, and Financial Security in an Age of Increased Longevity, on Tuesday, May 15, 2012, from 6:30–9:30 pm.

As an individual, a society and a nation, what are we to do about the additional 20 or 30 years we are expected to live? What do we really know today about life expectancy, and what should we be doing differently as a result? One of the world’s leading authorities on longevity and aging will address this uniquely 21st-century question. Dr. Laura Carstensen will help us re-envision a long life informed by the latest scientific and sociological research. Find out how you can make better decisions today about your lifestyle, family, career, finances and social infrastructure, so you can look forward to many healthy, fulfilling and financially stable years ahead.
