Do you want to live longer? Regardless of your answer, you will most likely have to. This is another of the inevitable consequences of the triumph of science and technology that we are experiencing today. But where will this unprecedented progress lead us? If people live to 100 or 120 years, how many of those years will they be able (or forced) to work? Will there be enough jobs for all? And how to live not only long, but also happily? One thing is clear: there are deep concerns about the contradiction between industrial development and the benefits of a long life. Unprecedented technological progress has not been accompanied by the necessary innovations and changes in social structures. Therefore, in this constantly changing world, we still have not discovered new ways to live. Andrew Scott and Linda Gratton answer the question "How will longevity change our lives and our society?". Based on research in the field of economics and psychology, they offer their own vision of the tools needed to meet the challenges ahead in creating a new social order. Using fictional characters from different age and social groups as examples, they describe the actions and steps that each of us must take to adjust to a long life. Any of us today can become the creator of our own biography of a new type!
