The writers behind this newsletter.
Welcome, I am an Applied Developmental Psychologist specializing in aging, mentorship, and generativity. I'm the bestselling author of The Mentorship Edge, a TEDx speaker, Psychology Today contributor and founder of MentalMapping and My Legacy Tree.
I am a writer, journalist, professor, AI/computational/digital health expert, physician, entrepreneur, science humorist, and avocado eater, not always in that order. Follow me for all things health/science, but don’t ask me if I know martial arts.
