Alle Statistiken bestätigen es: Uns erwartet ein deutlich längeres Leben als die Generationen vor uns. Es wäre daher leichtsinnig, an dieser Tatsache und ihren Auswirkungen vorbeizusehen, mahnen die britischen Wissenschaftler Lynda Gratton und Andrew Scott.

Gratton und Scott zeigen in praxisnahen Szenarien, wie in Zukunft unsere Arbeitswelt, Finanzplanung, Gesundheitsvorsorge und unser Privatleben aussehen könnten. Denn älter zu werden heißt heute nicht mehr, auf Optionen zu verzichten, sondern neue Wahlmöglichkeiten zu entdecken. Ursprünglich erschienen in der Edition Körber.
