The AGEING RESEARCHER
Sven C. Voelpel, born in 1973, is Professor of Business Administration at Constructor University in Bremen and an internationally active age researcher.
One of his theses is: “Age is a matter of the head – because staying young starts in the head!” and “We become happier and happier as we get older”.
He explains how the world’s youngest professor came to this conclusion in his Spiegel bestseller and Amazon number 1 book: “Entscheide selbst, wie alt Du bist. What research knows about staying young”.
Sven studied in Augsburg, London, Oxford and as a doctoral student in St. Gallen and at Harvard University. He has also held numerous visiting professorships at internationally renowned universities (INSEAD, Tsinghua, St. Gallen, Visiting Fellowships at Harvard University).
The scientist, start-up entrepreneur and international bestselling author lives with his family in Bremen.
Vision
Become and stay young, healthy, productive and happy with the 7 Fountain of Youth factors!
The focus here is on the health span as opposed to the life span. It is not in the spirit of the Fountain of Youth formula if someone lives to be 110 but spends the last 20 years in hospital.
In the context of ageing research, Sven Voelpel has proven that we can influence to a far greater extent than previously thought whether we are old or just getting older. The Fountain of Youth formula is the ultimate tool for increasing our healthspan.
