Psychology: 'Aging is a self-fulfilling prophecy'

The article discusses research by psychologist Jana Nikitin on the psychology of aging, challenging common negative perceptions of old age.

She offers recommendations for living a fulfilling and contented life in old age. The article highlights the importance of rethinking societal attitudes toward aging and provides insights into how individuals can approach later life more positively.
