STANFORD Magazine released an article a couple of months ago that began this way: “Today's youth likely have decades of ‘extra’ time coming to them. Psychologist Laura Carstensen wants them to spread those years out.”
The article is entitled “5 Ways to Prepare for a Longer Life” and it’s all about preparing young people for the 35 years they will have after retirement. The Stanford Center on Longevity has created what's called “the new map of life” to address the critical question of how youth will manage all that extra time. Their team of postdoctoral fellows has reimagined a society molded around 100-year life spans.
In this episode, I do an overview of the article and Stanford’s work on the new map of life. I provide a summary of what they cover in the article, the conclusion they drew, and how all of that can be applied to your life and Encore Career.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
Why we must plan to work longer and differently.
How to change the way you save money.
Why regular exercise is crucial to preparing for a longer life.
Why you should prioritize friendship.
How to envision a long life that you love.
