Prepare to have your perceptions of aging, work, and retirement shifted as we explore the profound potential of a 100-year life, inspired by the enlightening Stanford Study on Longevity. We dismantle the outdated notion of aging as a hard stop at 65 and delve into the need for a stage-based understanding of life – one where continual learning and multiple job transitions become the norm.
The New Map of Life project paints a hopeful picture of longevity. It suggests that lengthened lives can lead to transformative societal changes enabling us to redefine life itself – leading to more productive, meaningful, and healthier living at various life stages, not just in the golden years.
With age as a significant part of the diversity equation, this conversation emphasizes the critical role of inclusivity in the scope of a 100-year life. We take a hard look at the retirement system and the potential to create return ships for those who've stepped away from the workforce. We also discuss how healthcare redesign can shift from treatment to prevention, building a healthier and more fulfilling life for all. We're confident that you'll walk away with a fresh perspective on the potential of a longer, healthier life and the opportunities it presents for personal growth and societal progress. Buckle up for an enriching and enlightening journey.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
Redefining age and aging: Ages versus stages
Flexible life transitions
Policy and social structures adapting to longer lives
Promoting lifelong learning
Age diversity in workplaces
Retirement system overhaul
Healthcare redesign
Inclusion of all social strata
