Overview
This two-book collection brings together the landmark longevity classic and its practical follow-up from acclaimed London Business School professor Lynda Gratton. The 100-Year Life introduced readers worldwide to the financial, social, and career implications of dramatically longer lifespans, while Living the 100-Year Life builds on that framework with hands-on guidance for shaping a working life that lasts decades longer than previous generations ever imagined. Together, these titles offer both the big-picture thinking and the practical, everyday tools readers need to plan confidently for a longer future.

About the Books
The 100-Year Life, co-authored with economist Andrew Scott, was one of the first books to seriously grapple with what it means when a child born today has a good chance of living past one hundred. Drawing on economics and psychology, the authors examine how traditional life stages of education, career, and retirement no longer fit a world of extended lifespans, and they propose new ways to think about finances, relationships, and identity across a much longer arc. The book resonated widely with business leaders and policymakers grappling with an aging workforce. Living the 100-Year Life picks up where that conversation left off, moving from diagnosis to action. Lynda Gratton offers a practical framework for building a career woven from threads like mastery, adventure, and cooperation rather than a single straight climb up a corporate ladder. It is designed as a companion for anyone rethinking what a fulfilling, sustainable working life can look like when that life may span sixty or seventy working years. Read together, this set moves from big-picture theory to real-world application, making it a valuable pairing for HR professionals, career changers, students of the future of work, and anyone curious how longer lives are reshaping the choices we make about money, family, education, and purpose.
