We live at a unique time in human history. For the first time ever, the young and middle-aged can expect to live long enough to become old. That requires all of us, regardless of age, to behave differently. We need to ensure lives are not just longer but also healthy, productive and engaged for longer.
In a book of impressive sweep, Scott looks at the implications this brings for every aspect of life and how individuals and society can achieve a longevity agenda which keeps us ‘evergreen’.
“The Longevity Imperative” outlines the changes needed in our health system, the economy and the financial sector. It also looks at the critical cultural and political shifts that need to happen as we adapt to a new longevity era.
“The Longevity Imperative” demands you think of your life and the world around you totally differently to reflect this new reality. It points to how we can seize new and exciting opportunities to improve our culture, institutions, and individual lives in preparation for longer futures and a new era for humanity. It demands we move away from the negativity of an ageing society and elevate a longevity society, alongside climate change and AI, as a key factor determining our individual and collective future.

“Life shift” practice edition that responds to Japanese anxiety
New technology, AI, longevity, corona, remote work, side business …
How do we live in this ever-changing world?
Why does the conventional wisdom of life change?
Why everyone becomes a life shifter
Why you need a social pioneer
What does it mean to live facing the 100-year era?
What is humanity that is competitive with AI?
What is the difference between learning for adults and learning for children?
What is the direction in which governments, education and businesses should change?
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 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.
· How can you fashion a career and life path that defines you and your values and creates a shifting balance between work and leisure?
· What are the most effective ways of boosting your physical and mental health over a longer and more dynamic lifespan?
· How can you make the most of your intangible assets – such as family and friends – as you build a productive, longer life?
· In a multiple-stage life how can you learn to make the transitions that will be so crucial and experiment with new ways of living, working and learning?
Shortlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award and featuring a new preface, The 100-Year Life is a wake-up call that describes what to expect and considers the choices and options that you will face. It is also fundamentally a call to action for individuals, politicians, firms and governments and offers the clearest demonstration that a 100-year life can be a wonderful and inspiring one.

你預期自己將活到幾歲?面對老年,你的想像是……?
現在的財務、健康、生活規畫,足以支應你到那時候嗎?
預期活到七十歲,跟預期活到九十歲的人,行事作為大不相同。你期盼健康、財富、生活目標、人際關係,在往後幾十年的生活是平安順利,還是痛苦潦倒?現代人類的壽命延長,多出比以往還要多的餘生時間,舊制度的生涯規畫,現在必須打破、重塑,才能面對挑戰。
把握人生變長的機會,各世代都可以抓緊長壽人生的紅利──
面對年輕人預期可活到很老的新時代,長壽經濟專家安德魯.史考特重建人生變長的新思維,告訴我們長壽人生的幸福解方:
☑健康:好好變老,一切都好
健康是一切美好生活的基礎,到老都還很健康,老年生活就能享有更多選擇。因此我們應該加強預防重於治療的醫療保健體系,維持終生健康。
☑職涯:保持終身的活力
你可以選擇努力工作提前退休或先玩樂再延後退休、為轉換跑道多學習、有更長時間發展不同專業……當到老都還很健康的時候,更容易自我更新,人生道路更多元。
☑財務:找出財富管理新模式
可以活多久?需要多少錢?投報率是多少?種種不確定是長壽財務的一大挑戰,儲蓄、投資、保險、退休金,各種混搭組合,幫你支應更長的人生。
☑目標:擅用多出來的歲月
生命延長給我們累積智慧與知識的機會,有更多時間做想做的事,你可以從年輕時就多投資未來,建構想要的人生。
☑社會:撕下世代標籤
出生率降低,壽命變長,跨世代互動的必要性更勝以往。我們必須破除年齡歧視,並對各世代都公平及包容。
☑經濟:把握新機會
銀髪經濟是新商機,企業除了銀髮族的「需要」,更該著重銀髮族的「想要」。此外,政府政策也要針對改善老年提出激勵措施,使其獲利。
更長的人生產生新挑戰,也創造新機會,使我們的生活價值、目標、快樂可以持續更久。現在就開始準備未來,帶來的好處將終生受益。
A practical guide to how we can positively adapt to a changing world, from the internationally bestselling authors of The 100-Year Life.
‘This important book will help reframe the global debate about how to help every citizen to flourish’ Matt Hancock, UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
Smart new technologies. Longer, healthier lives. Human progress has risen to great heights, but at the same time it has prompted anxiety about where we’re heading. Are our jobs under threat? If we live to 100, will we ever really stop working? And how will this change the way we love, manage and learn from others?
One thing is clear: advances in technology and longevity have not been matched by supporting innovations to our social structures. In our era of unprecedented change, we haven’t yet discovered new ways of living and working and that’s creating a growing tension between our traditional patterns of behaviour and the world in which we live.

Macroeconomics: Understanding the Global Economy, 3rd Edition is to help students – and indeed anyone – understand contemporary and past economic events that shape the world we live in, and at a sophisticated level. But it does so without focusing on mathematical techniques and models for their own sake.
Theory is taken seriously – so much so that the authors go to pains to understand the key aspects of theories in a way that will not put people off before they see how theories are useful to analyse issues. The authors believe that theories are essential to better understand the world, thus the book includes a wealth of historic and current episodes and data to both see how theories can help interpret the world and also to judge their validity.
Economies today are very inter-connected; what happens in China matters pretty much everywhere; and what happens in one (even small) country in the euro zone has implications for the whole euro area and beyond, consequently Macroeconomics, 3rd Edition adopts a very international focus.
