Author, journalist, Washington Post health columnist and longevity activist Abigail Trafford joined me to talk about her most recent book, My Time. In My Time, Trafford  makes the case that increased longevity means that "the period after midlife [presents] Americans with opportunity for  a new stage of growth and productivity." She argues that these "bonus decades can be an unprecedented phase of vitality for most men and women."

Blending the latest research and expert opinion with compelling personal narratives, her interviews include poignant, instructive stories from individuals throughout the U.S. Trafford suggests that later life can offer enriching experiences and great fulfillment, and encourages "public and private institutions to support and engage this generation, because the energies and efforts of its members can benefit society as a whole.”
