Your Aging Advantage redefines aging, breaking free from outdated thinking tied to chronological age.

Introducing a new book by Stuart Kaplan and Marcus Riley: Your Aging Advantage.

Your Aging Advantage redefines aging by introducing the “7 New Stages of Aging,” a flexible model shaped by lifestyle and circumstances, not just the date on your birth certificate. This groundbreaking approach empowers individuals to navigate aging on their own terms with purpose and positivity. Through the Aging Advantage Plan, the authors provide a practical roadmap to help readers embrace these stages, make informed decisions, and live vibrantly at any age.
