391. Carl Honoré: The cult of youth is ripe for a shift - An important conversation at all ages.

Pop Quiz: How do you feel about aging?

• Do you feel bad about your age?
• Wish you were younger?
• Go to serious lengths to come across as younger?
• Did you turn 32 AGAIN this year?

This week’s show, @carlhonore invites us to stop buying into the cult of youth, and explore what the world might look like when we do.

If you’d love nothing more than to change the way you view ageing, change the things you say about age, brush off the pressure to be ‘young’ then join us.

Words like vitality, energy, enthusiasm, vibrancy and ‘crushing it’ don’t belong to any age - they belong to the people who embody them at any age.

Carl has always made us think through his books, and challenge how we think about and do things. In Praise of Slow, challenged Hustle Culture; his book “Bolder” in 2018 challenges us to rethink aging and the notion that at a certain point we should be put out to pasture. I know you’ll love this chat.

So good. Can’t wait to hear what ahas come from it for you. Alexx x
