2:31Now PlayingOur scientific understanding of the aging process may be expanding, but is our cultural thinking about aging keeping up? In the new season of The Atlantic’s popular How To series, co-hosts Yasmin Tayag and Natalie Brennan explore the cultural gamification of aging, the obsession with defying this inevitable process, and how we might shift our understanding of aging to embrace the beauty of being mortal. Just as “leveling up” is a positive notion, How to Age Up challenges listeners to consider how we all, regardless of our specific age, might live better.

• What aspects of aging are you nervous about?
• What are you looking forward to as you age?
• Who do you hope to be like when you are older? Is there someone in your life who has made you excited to get older?
Sending in a voice note means that you are consenting to the possibility of The Atlantic using your audio in a future episode of How To.
