*A new edition of the international bestseller (a #1 bestseller in Japan), featuring a new preface*
Does the thought of working for 60 or 70 years fill
you with dread? Or can you see the potential for a more stimulating
future as a result of having so much extra time?
Many of us have been raised on the traditional
notion of a three-stage approach to our working lives: education,
followed by work and then retirement. But this well-established pathway
is already beginning to collapse - life expectancy is rising,
final-salary pensions are vanishing, and increasing numbers of people
are juggling multiple careers. Whether you are 18, 45 or 60, you will
need to do things very differently from previous generations and learn
to structure your life in completely new ways.
The 100-Year Life is here to help.
Drawing on the unique pairing of their experience in
psychology and economics, Lynda Gratton and Andrew J. Scott offer a
broad-ranging analysis as well as a raft of solutions, showing how to
rethink your finances, your education, your career and your
relationships and create a fulfilling 100-year life.
