A practical guide to how we can positively adapt to a changing world, from the internationally bestselling authors of The 100-Year Life'Wonderful . . . This thought-provoking book is a must-read' Daron Acemoglu, author of Why Nations FailSmart 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 have not been matched by the necessary innovation to our social structures. In our era of unprecedented change, we haven't yet discovered new ways of living. Drawing from the fields of economics and psychology, Andrew J Scott and Lynda Gratton offer a simple framework based on three fundamental principles (Narrate, Explore and Relate) to give you the tools to navigate the challenges ahead. Both a personal road-map and a primer for governments, corporations and colleges, The New Long Life is the essential guide to a longer, smarter, happier life.'This thoughtful book explores how we can reimagine our days and our societies to make our lives better - not just longer' Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take'Stimulating, insightful and inspirational' Linda Yueh, author of The Great Economists'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
In this fresh and striking book, Scott and Gratton address the central question of our age: how to achieve human flourishing at a time of radical new technology and longer lives. The optimism oozes out, as unlike most attempts to tackle this question, they never forget that, done right, new technology and longer lives are forces for good -- Rt Hon Matt Hancock, UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
We are living longer and healthier lives which creates momentous challenges. But as this wonderful book points out, it also presents huge opportunities, ranging from changes in how we invest in our education, how we work, consume, form our social lives and even govern ourselves. This thought-provoking book is a must-read -- Daron Acemoglu, Institute Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and author of 'Why Nations Fail'

Gratton and Scott show us how social ingenuity by individuals, employers and governments can turn sources of fear into sources of hope -- Dame Minouche Shafik, Director, London School of Economics and Political Science
Stimulating, insightful and inspirational. This book is an essential work on how longevity and technology affect us all. Read it to not only learn about ageing and robots, but also how to use that knowledge to positively transform our lives -- Linda Yueh, author of 'The Great Economists: How Their Ideas Can Help Us Today'
A fascinating book grappling with a critical topic: how to embrace technological change and longevity. A recommended read for business leaders with the job of nurturing a happy and productive workforce -- Anne Richards, CEO, Fidelity International
