What will your 100-year life include?

A new edition of the international bestseller, with a new preface.

Does the thought of working for 60 or 70 years fill you with dread? Or can you envisage a more stimulating future life as you have so much extra time?

Many of us have been brought up with the traditional notion of a three-stage approach to our lives: education, work, and then retirement. However, this established path is already beginning to crumble - life expectancy is increasing, final salary pensions are vanishing, and more and more people are combining several 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 entirely new ways.

The 100-Year Life is here to help.

Drawing on their unique experience in psychology and economics, Lynda Gratton and Andrew J. Scott offer a broad analysis as well as a plethora of solutions, showing how to redesign your finances, your education, your career, and your relationships to create a fulfilling 100-year life.

• How can you shape a career and life path that defines you and reflects your values, creating an alternating balance between work and leisure?
• What are the most effective methods for enhancing your physical and mental health over a longer, more dynamic lifespan?
• How can you leverage your intangible assets - like family and friends - as you build a productive, longer life?
• In a multi-stage life, how can you learn to make the transitions that will be critical and experiment with new ways of living, working, and learning?

Selected for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year award and with a new preface, The 100-Year Life is a wake-up call describing what to expect and examining the choices and opportunities you will face. It is also fundamentally a call to action for individuals, politicians, businesses, and governments, providing the clearest evidence that a 100-year life can be amazing and inspiring.
