The founder of AGEIST and host of the SuperAge podcast discusses the shift from anti-aging to positive aging, how targeting by age is an epic fail, and the endless possibilities in life's third act.

Key Takeaways Don't target by age, it's a huge fail. Age is one of the criteria, but not the defining character criteria. What are people's values and ambitions? How do they see themselves in the future? The word “aging” is problematic because it is lumped together with disease. Apple doesn't target age; they target people. The largest consumer segment for Apple products is men over 65. Wellness is what we have control over, and a set of behaviors that have consequences. There is growing awareness that we have responsibility for our health outcomes; we have agency. Become passionate about your purpose. Purpose orients your life around “How can I be most useful? How can I be most impactful in the world?”

What does it mean to rank cities on livability or quality of life? In this episode we look at the recently released Monocle Quality of Life Survey for 2016 and discuss how it, and other ranked city lists (not listicles!), can impact the way cities progress and compete. Whether looking at overall metrics of a city like housing, affordability, safety, and public transportation - or even if it's possible to sit at a cafe at 11pm and sip a glass of wine - we think these mixed-methods surveys have their merit, especially for the purposes of promoting good urban practices. Other lists focus on more specific aspects like individual countries or bicycle infrastructure and culture, like the Copenhagenize Bicycle Friendly List, and serve a purpose towards encouraging other cities to improve that specific item as well. So what do you think? Do you keep up with these lists each year or do you find fault in their metrics? Have you been to any of the cities or do you live there and have a difference experience? Let us know our twitter https://twitter.com/ThirdWaveUrban!

This year sees the biggest shake-up of our annual Quality of Life list since it launched in 2007. We’ve added 22 new metrics and the new additions have led to some dramatic changes in the order of the top 25 cities. Old favourites have slipped down the list, while we also welcome back one entry. And we have a new number one. We hope, as in previous years, the list provokes a stimulating and lively debate.
To highlight the importance of provenance, Gillian Dobias visited Monocle Quality of Life Conference panelists David Hieatt in Wales, Catarina Portas in Lisbon and Kamal Mouzawak in Beirut – three inspiring role models for cities wanting to make the most of their heritage and create jobs.
Over a sunny weekend in Lisbon, delegates and speakers came together for Monocle's inaugural Quality of Life Conference. From the importance of healthy, robust media to how to run a metropolis, architects, mayors, entrepreneurs and key thinkers gave a fresh perspective on the world around us. This is our film that shows just a few of the highlights. And pencil the conference in your diaries for 2016 – we will be announcing details in the coming weeks.
Monocle is hosting its first ever conference. This intimate gathering will be hosted by the magazine’s editors, correspondents and key thinkers, with the topics discussed ranging from architecture and city planning to independent retail and national branding.
