60 is the new 40. We tail-end baby boomers are not aging and retiring the way our parents did! We are hiking, biking, traveling and earning advanced degrees. Those of us who have watched our parents struggle with dementia and the ravages of aging are saying, “That’s NOT going to happen to me!” But what can we do to prevent it?
We know more about the brain now than we did even ten years ago. We know that neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to create new neural connections throughout a lifetime) allows us to work out the brain like a muscle and improves our chances of keeping it healthy well into our elder years. Everyone knows the old adage, “Laughter is the best medicine,” but now science backs it up. Laughter and play create physical changes in the brain and body and can profoundly impact our quality of life. The author calls this: neuroPLAYstsicity.
NeuroPLAYsticity: 5 Fun Ways to Build a Better Brain is based on Ann 2013 TEDx talk, How a Brain Injury Made Me Smarter, (which has 80K views as of August 2019). This book combines humor and playfulness with scientifically-proven strategies for building new neural pathways – without the scientific jargon.
Midlifers, particularly those at the tail end of the baby boomer generation (born 1954-1964) who want to do whatever they can to grow old gracefully and with their brains functioning at 100%.
"Everyone LOVED her! She was so inspiring!"
-Mary Kay Morrison, Past President, Association of Applied and Therapeutic Humor
“I just watched Ann's TEDx talk and I'm speechless (no pun intended). Ann has turned her life-changing moment after suffering a traumatic brain injury into motivation to help others. I didn't know Ann before her injury but her engaging presence, charm and humor come through loud and clear in her talk.”
-Ted Prodromou, Author, The Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn for Business, California
“Ann Zuccardy is a mentor and role model. She’s the person I bounce my creative ideas off when I want insightful advice. She’s the perfectionist who catches the finest mistakes in my writing with her fine-toothed comb of a brain. I know I can trust her and her exquisite life advice.”
-Professor Frank Chindamo, Founder and CEO, LaughMD
“What has always impressed me about Ann’s work is the richness of its themes. Though brain injury is one of her topics, she also deals with universal human concerns such as the nature of intelligence, the roots of creativity, and the sources of greater productivity. In her TEDx talks, speeches, and writing, Ann combines the personal and theoretical with human stories and solid research. Her wit and charm are always entertaining and engaging. Ann is a supremely gifted communicator and facilitator.”
-Andrew Nargolwala, Psychotherapist & Podcaster, New Jersey
