Join Dr. Michael Franzblau for a lively and insightful talk about his new book, The Optimism Cure, a down-to-earth guide to living a happier, more meaningful life in your later years.

Dr. Michael Franzblau will help you discover strategies and practices that will help you live a longer, healthier and more fulfilling life in your senior years. He’ll share practical tips for embracing change, picking up new hobbies, staying connected, and finding purpose in retirement.


With a mix of research and personal experience, Dr. Franzblau takes on a big question: If people are living longer—up to 85 on average—why are so many older adults feeling lonely or unfulfilled? This talk will explore how The Optimism Cure helps turn that around, offering tools to make the senior years some of the best.


About Dr. Franzblau: A Columbia College and Yale University graduate, Dr. Franzblau began his career in solid-state physics before spending 30 years teaching high school science and leading innovative educational programs. After retiring from teaching, he became a financial advisor for educators and authored several bestselling books, including Teach and Be Rich, Tuition Without Tears, and Science Goes to the Movies.
Whether you’re a senior, caregiver, or simply interested in positive aging, this talk offers fresh insight into how optimism can reshape the experience of growing older.
