Nigel Rawlins reminds us that in the freelance world, retirement age is just a social construct. Instead of winding down, independent professionals can leverage their autonomy to keep their most valuable asset—their mind—in peak condition well into their 70s and 80s. By framing brain health not just as lifestyle advice, but as critical business infrastructure, Nigel shows how demanding work and purposeful habits actively protect our cognitive edge.
"Mental decline is common as we age, yet the research, and plenty of people still working well into their seventies and eighties, suggest it is far from inevitable."
