The Missing Piece to Living to 100 (It’s Not What You Think) with Ken Stern
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this thought-provoking conversation, Karen Coyne sits down with Ken Stern, author of Healthy to 100, founder of the Longevity Project, and former CEO of NPR, to explore the critical but often overlooked role of social health in living longer, healthier lives. Drawing from global research and firsthand reporting from places like Japan, Singapore, and Italy, Ken reveals why countries with the highest life expectancies are intentional about fostering intergenerational relationships, purpose-filled work, and community connection, especially in the second half of life.
Ken shares surprising longevity insights from around the globe, including why a poor Texas county outperforms wealthier regions in life expectancy, how Japan redesigned work for older adults, and why loneliness poses health risks equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Together, Karen and Ken examine cultural norms, policies, and personal choices that shape how we age, as well as how our own internalized ageism may unknowingly limit our health and happiness.
Tune in and walk away with practical steps to build meaningful social connections, rethink retirement, and intentionally design a more purposeful, connected life, no matter your age.
In this episode:
- Why social health may be the most overlooked factor in long-term wellbeing
- How other countries intentionally design connection into later life
- The role work, purpose, and proximity play beyond traditional retirement
- How ageism and mindset quietly influence health and longevity
- Simple ways to plan for connection, not just financial security
