Flourish As You Age
BRAIN HEALTH
MENTAL MANAGEMENT
A GOOD DEATH
Let's not just fade away; let's FLOURISH as we age!
The MINDRAMP Podcasts focus on three key components that have been shown to contribute to flourishing in the later years of your life. You will find mini-series of episodes that explore each component.
1) Keeping your brain and body healthy - see The Roots of Brain Health
2) Managing your mental states - see Flourishing
3) Planning the kind of death you want to have - (coming 10/1/24))
You will also find the occasional episodes that focus social concerns that I feel have an impact on our well-being, for example "Elections."
Flourish As You Age
ARTS & BRAIN - Music, Purpose & Power
Comments? Send me a text message.
This episode, the first of three episodes on music, explores the purpose and power of music. MINDRAMP's mission is to provide evidence-based information that can help you to live long and to live well. We focus on keeping our brains healthy and on managing our minds to promote happiness and equanimity.
Can music play a role in these goals? Yes, it can! Music can help us keep our bodies and brains healthy. Music helps us to develop the capacities we need to survive and thrive in our environments. We provide a number of framing ideas that make it easier to understand the evolutionary purpose of music and easier to understand how music has the power to change our physiology.
