Don't trust anyone over 90
Appropriately she's London bureau chief for TIME :)
Catherine Mayer writes about her ideas here: Live long. Stay healthy. Join the immortals. Shallow.
I guess I should have a look at that link, but do you want to say why it's shallow? You may well be right, but simply saying, "Shallow," is not very persuasive.
With any luck, 80 will be the new 20 by the time we get there.
See Cosmo style end of article:
4. Your friend's new lover is 25 years younger than your friend. You:
a) Don't think the age difference matters. They're soul mates
b) Understand the attraction but the age gap means the relationship is unlikely to last
c) Think "there's no fool like an old fool"
d) Hadn't noticed
but particularly Q10 re attitude to death
Nothing to learn from this book nor the author
Shallow... Has it occurred to you that you're reading an adapted excerpt of a book, not the full text? 100,000 words compressed into less than 3,000?

BTW I'm not intentionally hiding behind an initial. I'm the shallow author
