What if your future is brighter than you think?

We live in a world obsessed with youth and terrified of ageing. But what if growing older wasn’t something to fear – but something to look forward to?

At this special live event Dr Kerry Burnight, will share powerful insights from her decades of work in gerontology and her new book Joyspan. You’ll learn how to shift from a fear of ageing to a deep appreciation of the freedom and fulfilment that come with later life.

Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-life stories, Kerry will unpack the essential ingredients for boosting our happiness in later life. These include connection, meaning, growth, choice and contentment – all of which we can cultivate, whatever our age.

Whether you’re approaching later life, supporting ageing loved ones or simply interested in living with more joy and intention, this talk will provide practical ideas to inspire and empower you for the years ahead.

This live Action for Happiness event with Dr Mark Williamson was recorded on the 15th November 2025.
