Aging Isn’t What It Used to Be | Stuart Kaplan on The 7 New Stages of Aging
What if aging is not a predictable decline, but a series of flexible life stages filled with possibility? In this episode of 45 Forward, Ron Roel talks with Stuart C. Kaplan, CEO of Selfhelp Community Services and co-author of Your Aging Advantage: The 7 New Stages of Aging. Stuart explains why our old ideas about retirement, aging, independence, and caregiving no longer fit the reality of longer lives.
Ron and Stuart discuss the “feels-like age,” the powerful idea that how old we feel can shift depending on our health, mindset, environment, relationships, and sense of purpose. They also explore the seven new stages of aging, the “flicker stage,” aging-in-place, caregiving, planning ahead, and why families often need better guidance before a crisis occurs.
