The Longevity Book Club:
A Conversation with Debra Whitman
November 6, 2024

On November 6, Debra Whitman talked with Ken and Martha about her book, “The Second Fifty: Answers to the 7 Big Questions of Midlife and Beyond”, and answered some of the most asked questions we have about midlife, like how long we’ll live, how much money we’ll need, and much more.

More about Debra’s Book: In The Second Fifty, Debra Whitman provides a roadmap for navigating, and celebrating, the second half of life. Drawing on compelling stories from her own family and people across the country, interviews with experts, and cutting-edge research, she shares insights on brain health, the contributions and concerns of an older workforce, caregiving, financing retirement, and more.

Her findings are often surprising: Americans over fifty are a boon to―not a drain on―the economy. Dementia rates have actually been declining as more people achieve higher levels of education and adopt healthier lifestyles. Whether you are approaching fifty, into your later years, or caring for someone who is, The Second Fifty is an indispensable guide for living well in the twenty-first century.
