David Alter, PhD was born in Minneapolis, MN but lived in 4 states and 3 continents by the time he was five years old. Those early experiences with language, dialect and culture helped shape his curiosity for how people live, how they express themselves and how they are shaped by their environments. Now, having practiced as a clinical neurologist/health psychologist for 30 years, always focusing on the evolving nature of our mind and our brain in relation to our social surroundings, he has translated his acquired experiences into his first published work (Staying Sharp, with co-author H. Emmons, MD). This non-fiction book about aging well reflects his inherent optimism about what is possible for us as time passes and grounds his findings and suggestions in solid neuroscience about what it takes to cultivate and maintain a healthy brain throughout the second half of life. Currently, he is joyfully engaged in practicing what he preaches.
He is an active teacher and trainer around the country, leading workshops and retreats and invited talks to both general and professional audiences.
