Century Lives

30
Social Sciences #174

It’s a well-known fact that women live longer than men. But less well known is the fact that women live a larger percentage of their lives in poor health than men do. In Century Lives: The 51%, we explore the failures that have contributed to women’s health disadvantage for centuries: shortcomings in healthcare, research, education, policy, and social norms alike. And we tell the stories of the visionary leaders, doctors, and innovators working to level the playing field today.

    Fascinating podcast
    I love the show for its deep and thoughtful approach to longevity questions. It goes beyond just healthspan, addressing topics like financial independence, ageism, and new approaches to careers. It’s truly about the entire lifespan!

    Well-Researched, Entertaining and Insightful
    Ken Stern and his colleagues unpack the implications of longer lives - Century Lives — from a variety of angles financial, social, global, dimensions of place/geography and more. The content is highly relevant for people of any age. So grateful for the 6 seasons and counting…

    Bad take on aging.
    The whole idea behind the series it an effort to present people from the privileged background- think rich- as living longer, own their business, and are somehow comparable to the vast majority of people. They do not plan to retire, and why should they when they are the owner of the business? No one is standing over them and making them work. Somehow, this podcast is trying to convince us that we should simply work until death. And be happy about it! What a nonsense.

    Fascinating!
    Well-thought out series, taking us though many issues, easy-going narrator, great selection of commentators, both academics and regular people describing issues they have encountered. Well worth my time!
  • Ulrich Boser
    Powerful insights
    Loving the podcast. Gives powerful insights into growing older in a world in which most of us will be, well, much older.
  • Swartell
    Thought provoking and informative
    And it makes you want to live life now so you can live a rich life later!
