Marc Cooper thinks you have an important choice to make. Will you become a wise elder or just someone who's getting older?
Marc Cooper joins us from Portland, Oregon.

Bio
Dr. Marc Cooper is a former healthcare consultant, for almost 30 years - at the practice, corporate and organizational levels. Prior to his consulting career, Dr. Cooper was an academician, basic science researcher and practicing periodontist. He felt a shift later in life, leading him to create and lead an organization called the Contemporary Elder Institute. This is a movement to raise awareness around the transformation we all experience as we age - turning knowledge into wisdom - and how it impacts the remainder of our life experience. On the road to becoming an elder, there are no clear road signs, no GPS to guide the way, and no reliable maps to follow. Navigating this path demands acquiring and cultivating higher wisdom—insights that transcend mere knowledge and shallow appearances.
Marc explores a transformative approach to aging in his book Older to Elder: The Thinking and Being of a Contemporary Elder. He rejects our culture's predetermined and often detrimental path to late age. Marc champions a new path: a path of strength, contribution, and deep self-worth, the path of a contemporary elder.
