Lecture: The connection between brain health and a sense of purpose

 Peter J. Whitehouse, M.D., Ph.D., a nationally recognized expert on how to achieve optimal brain health, will speak at The DePaul Art Museum, 935 W. Fullerton Ave., Chicago, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 17. His talk, “A Revelatory View of Brain Health: Guiding Our Lives Down a Journey of Purpose,” is sponsored by  Lincoln Park Village, a leader in the pioneering village movement that is changing the landscape of aging in America.

 

While diet, exercise and cognitive stimulation are keys to living longer and with greater resilience, Dr. Whitehouse believes that having a strong sense of purpose is even more essential in the search for a meaningful life. He asserts: “Brain health, deeply and broadly conceived, is essential to who we are as individual mortal human beings. It helps create a sense of belonging in our communities and helps determine how we will face the future.”
