untimelyethos 's review for:
The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity
by Lynda Gratton, Andrew Scott
If I used a single word to describe this book it would be: encouraging. It should be required reading for every college graduate, career nomad, or professional in transition. Instead of focusing on a bleak financial outlook or the potential degradation of health, this book is a crash course in planning and preparing for a long, fulfilling life full of both tangible and intangible assets.
As someone who found the idea of a long life more of a curse than a gift, this book changed my perspective. Now I am looking forward to all the options and opportunities of my future selves! It is an especially encouraging book for people who've always felt the need to explore options, pioneer and experiment with new ideas, or take time to perform real self-discovery.
There is some repetition in this book, but I'm not opposed to skimming. It didn't lessen the quality for me. I highly recommend this book to any age group, but especially those 18-30, or anyone willing to look inward and outward and make real changes to prepare for the future.
