    In the new book Time Smart: How to Reclaim Your Time and Live a Happier Life, author and Harvard Business School Professor Ashley Whillans says we need to consciously take steps to improve our "time affluence." The book provides research-...

    11:00am to 12:00pm

    Location: 

    Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health—Online

    The COVID-19 pandemic has had a great impact on everyone, especially "at-risk" groups, such as older adults.

These restrictions can lead to feelings of stress, sadness, and loneliness.

    The aim of this forum is to discuss the effects of the pandemic on older adults and to offer tips on how older adults can stay mentally and physically healthy during this unique time...
