Questo saggio vuole fornire alcune indicazioni su come affrontare i problemi della vecchiaia con serenità e sicurezza. L'autrice non parte da considerazioni etiche, sociologiche o psicologiche, bensì scientifiche, con le quali dimostra che il cervello umano invecchiando perde alcune prerogative, ma le sostituisce con altre che in parte compensano e superano quelle perdute. L'autrice accompagna la sua dimostrazione con una serie di esempi di personalità attive fino alla vecchiaia, come Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei, Bertrand Russell e Pablo Picasso.
