Translated from the French.
1 "Everything go so fast these days" : how our mental capacities change -- 2 A calm disposition : why older people are more emotionally stable -- 3 Grey cells : the anatomy of the ageing brain -- 4 Forgetfulness or dementia? : where is the line between the two, and what can you do about it? -- 5 Body and mind : the influence of hormones -- 6 Pills, powders, and push-ups : what works (and what doesn't) -- 7 With age comes wisdom : why older people are wiser -- 8 The best possible brain : scientifically proven advice.
André Aleman shows that though the decline in our mental health capacities begins earlier than we think, this is not such a bad thing.
