Talk about timely…given all the talk about the age of our current (Trump) and prior (Biden) presidents.
About this book (from publisher web page)
This book on presidential age is not about Alzheimer's Disease and associated pathologies of the aging brain. It is instead about the normally aging brain. Brains don’t simply develop and maintain their functionality into older adulthood unless otherwise impaired by neurocognitive disease. Were this the case, this book might be about leveraging prodromal biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases to screen prospective presidential candidates. Instead, the normal decline age brings to all human brains begs a different type of book—and a broader and more blanketed warning about electing increasingly older presidents.
Table of contents below. It is clear from the breadth of coverage that this is a serious attempt to corral critical age-related cognitive abilities research in the context of executive decision making (e.g., being President)…which makes it clear that the assessment of intelligence is well beyond the quick and very limited MoCA screener that our current president likes to brag (incorrectly) about as an indication of his great intelligence.
The book is due out the first week of March, 2025. Thus, I have not read any of the chapters upon which to base an opinion. I shall be ordering a copy.
