According to statistics, life expectancy is increasing year by year, which gives us all good prospects of living to 100 years or longer. But how many of us are already seriously thinking about our distant future? What will our “most adult” age be like: what will we do with ourselves, how, where and what will we live on, how will we feel, who will we communicate with? Do we want, having lost competitive skills with age and exhausted reserves of vital energy, to find ourselves facing a long old age with meager means of subsistence? Hardly. Is it possible to avoid this and live long but happily? The authors of the book, who have studied the topic of longevity for many years, claim that yes. They talk about different life strategies and offer options for long-term planning. Professor of advanced management practices Linda Gratton and professor of economics Andrew Scott give advice: how to successfully maintain intellectual and physical tone; how to manage the time that was previously allocated to work; where to get new impressions when nothing seems to surprise you; how to provide for yourself without becoming a burden; how not to allow yourself to be lazy; how not to be discouraged and not spoil the lives of others with grumbling; how to maintain and expand your social circle. You will learn how individuals and different generations, as well as business, government institutions and society as a whole, react to the prospects of a 100-year life. The authors also share information about how you can initiate beneficial changes that make the lives of older people better, and stimulate those already underway.
