Meet your guide: Thomas Lewis, MD

Dr. Thomas Lewis is a psychiatrist, neuroscientist, author, and producer/co-star of the award-winning documentary Forever Young. He earned his MD at UCSF, where he completed his psychiatry residency, served as Associate Director of the Affective Disorders Program, and remains an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry. He has delivered Grand Rounds at UCSF and Stanford, and lectured everywhere from the American Association for the Advancement of Science to Google. He also teaches at the Fromm Institute for Lifelong Learning at the University of San Francisco, where his students are adults over fifty. Over the years, he has built courses on the intersection of neuroscience with morality, creativity, complexity science, poetry, love, and Shakespeare. Twice recognized for his teaching at UCSF, he is that rare thing: a working scientist who is also, demonstrably, a teacher. His book A General Theory of Love was reviewed by the New York Times and the Washington Post, which called it "a rare example of the fusing of scientific rigor with literary eloquence." It has been translated into six languages. Founders and physicians have sought him out for years, often calling him the Sage of Sausalito, and his teachings have rarely been available outside lecture halls and private sessions. Dr. Lewis has a unique ability to bridge science and humanism, which makes him the perfect guide to lead you through the science of longevity while remembering why you want to live longer in the first place.
