How do we make the most of our longer lives?

Journalist Carl Honoré brought the Slow Movement to wider attention with his book In Praise of Slow.

Now he charts a major shift in our approach to ageing as he meets the revolutionaries who are inspiring us to live better for longer.

As his journey concludes, Carl makes some unexpected discoveries about love and sex after the first flush of youth.
