From Birth To Death, The Odyssey Of Our Human Experience with Thomas Armstrong, Ph.D.

How do the stages of birth influence our future lives? Using the metaphor of these developmental stages, Armstrong takes us on a mythical and psychological tour. He gives many historical examples examples of individuals, and how their birthing process played out on the world stage. He also shares his research on old age which, as he states, has earned wisdom that cannot be learned in books or workshops. It can only be learned from experience. He suggests that our brains are still forming and adds, “Actually in terms of our brains during our 50s and 60s there are still things going on in terms of development. New dendrites are still being created, new connections between brain cells. Actually there are new neurons being created, that we didn’t even know about ten or twenty years ago. This new brain growth may actually be the physiological basis of what we call wisdom in old age.” (hosted by Michael Toms)

Thomas Armstrong, Ph.D. has published many articles and has conducted more than 800 keynote presentations, workshop, and seminars. He is the author of many books, including The Human Odyssey: Navigating the Twelve Stages of Life (Sterling Publishing 2007).
