How to live passionately—no matter your age

Author Isabel Allende is 71. Yes, she has a few wrinkles—but she has incredible perspective too. In this candid talk, meant for viewers of all ages, she talks about her fears as she gets older and shares how she plans to keep on living passionately.

Aging is inevitable, but embracing it can unlock new sources of joy and self-acceptance. Even at 71, one can still feel 17 inside, discovering surprising freedoms and letting go of old expectations. Stories of people who reinvent their purpose later in life, like the woman who saved 12,000 girls in Nepal after age 60, reveal how passion and gratitude can flourish with age. Vulnerability, humor, and saying yes to life become powerful tools for living fully, no matter the number of candles on the cake.
