Are the middle-aged years the smartest of our lives?

Are the middle-aged years the smartest of our lives? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Barbara Strauch, senior science editor at The New York Times and author of The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-aged Mind. She says while you lose your grasp on the small stuff--like remembering people's names--in the big picture, your brain may enter its most competent and productive phase yet. How could our minds grow stronger as our bodies get softer?

Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Do you know a middle-aged mind? It's Your Call, with Sandip Roy and you.

Guest:
Barbara Strauch, deputy science and health editor at The New York Times and author of The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-aged Mind
