How do you feel about getting older?

Are you worried about losing your energy, strength, and pleasure (yes that pleasure, but also the other pleasures of life and youth)? About inching closer to death every day?

In this episode, the humans discuss ‘How to Grow Old‘ by Marcus Tullius Cicero, a book about how exaggerated/mistaken those beliefs are and how great growing old can be, that is just as relevant today as when it was written in 44 BCE.

Standard Humans is hosted by Aidan Dennehy and Evan.
