Living the 100-Year Life

'Each chapter is a treasure trove' - Carole Kauffman 'You'll walk away seeing yourself not as a stranger, but as a collaborator' - Daniel H. Pink How will you live your 100-year life? In a world of longer lives and constant change, work is no longer a single straight path. It is a fabric we weave - with threads of mastery, friendship, calm, intimacy, adventure, cooperation, knowing, and amplification. How we strengthen and reweave these threads will shape not just our working lives, but our happiness, health, and sense of purpose across a century. In Living the 100-Year Life, Lynda Gratton - acclaimed co-author of The 100-Year Life - offers a practical and deeply human guide to navigating this new reality. Drawing on global research, expert voices, and the stories of four fictional characters at different life stages, Gratton shows how to: · Discover what each of the eight threads can make possible for you · Strengthen the threads through reflection, action, and promises to your future self · Weave a working life that is resilient, meaningful, and uniquely yours This is not a book about extending life for its own sake. It is a book about living wisely across time - finding joy in friendships, resilience in calm, creativity in adventure, and purpose in work. Your 100-year life is still being woven. The threads are in your hands.
