Optimizing learning and quality of life throughout the lifespan: a global framework for research and application.

摘要: This overview surveys the new optimism about aging mind/brain, focusing on potential for self-regulation practices to advance research in stress-protection and optimal health. It reviews recent findings offers a framework.
