Community Book Discussion
Breaking the Age Code
What if changing your mindset could add over seven years to your life?
Based on the groundbreaking research of Yale professor Dr. Becca Levy, this program explores the stunning mind-body connection revealed in her landmark book, Breaking the Age Code, proving that health issues like memory loss and hearing decline are deeply influenced by negative societal beliefs rather than just biology.
This discussion will challenge cultural stereotypes and uncover how positive age beliefs can literally transform how your genes operate. You’ll walk away with easy-to-follow techniques to boost your longevity, reclaim your health, and actively shape a more vibrant, age-just future.
Featuring local therapists Dr. Miriam Engstrom, Alison Pacifici, and Frank Wilberding.
Check the Grosse Pointe Public Library or Harper Woods Public Library catalogs for copies of the book.
Books can also be borrowed from The Family Center, just ask to borrow a copy when you register.
