New York Times bestselling author Chip Conley discusses his book Learning To Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better With Age

Chip Conley is a man on a mission. The long-time hospitality industry disruptor and New York Times bestselling author believes the world needs a "pro-aging" message based upon Yale's Becca's Levy's research which shows that when someone shifts their mindset about aging from negative to positive, they gain 7.5 years of additional life.

Chip created MEA (Modern Elder Academy) with a beachfront campus in Baja six years ago and a 2,600-acre ranch campus opening in Santa Fe, NM in spring 2024.

His latest TED talk, An Alternative to the Midlife Crisis, is an insightful, brief hint at the topic of his newest book, Learning to Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better With Age.

In Chip's talk, he will focus on MEA's core curriculum: navigating transitions, cultivating purpose, owning one's wisdom, and reframing our relationship with aging by being "age-fluid."
