Living Long is Thrilling: A Fireside Chat
April 8 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm AKDT
Picture yourself with an extra 20 years of life ahead. How would you embrace this
precious gift of time?
Join us as we hear from Ayse Birsel and Bruce Chernof, who embarked on a year-long
journey to explore how older individuals envision and design their extended lives. What
they discovered was profound: regardless of age, love, purpose, well-being, and friendship
remain essential pillars of a fulfilling life.
Together, they will impart simple, research-backed strategies for longer life with optimism,
not pessimism. Join us as they delve into their groundbreaking work and take questions
from the audience about their upcoming collaboration with the Mat-Su Council on Aging
and the Mat-Su Health Foundation in Mat-Su. This discussion is open to all who seek to
enrich their lives and communities.
