Living Well Until 100
The longevity era is in full swing. This era of living to 100, something talked about for a long time, is finally upon us. Over the last hundred years, life expectancy has increased by two to three years every decade. On average, each generation lives six to nine years longer than its parents. With this pace, newborn babies in advanced countries today have a more than 50 percent chance of living to 100 years old. How shall we live those years? Lynda Gratton says the that the new life we are living due to advancements in medical technology is “a special gift” and shows us a survival strategy in this new competitive landscape.
The key is a “multiple-stage life.” So far, we have lived our whole life within the framework of education, career, and retirement, which we consider as a long holiday. But Lynda Gratton's strategy is to view this stage of life as an opportunity to learn, engage in new work, and explore. It’s our duty to cast off the shackles of society’s expectations and live our lives again as adventurers.
Lynda Gratton offers us concrete ways to prepare for the 100-year life in an innovative world improved by technology and forever changed by a pandemic. Knowledge enables preparation. With GREAT MINDS, learn how to really live and thrive in the latter half of our lives.
