The twentieth century bequeathed us a fabulous gift: thirty more
years of life on average. Supersized life spans are going to
radically alter society, and present an unprecedented opportunity
to change our approach not only to old age but to all of life's
stages. The ramifications are just beginning to dawn on us.... yet
in the meantime, we keep thinking about, and planning for, life as
it used to be lived.
In "A Long Bright Future," longevity and aging expert Laura
Carstensen guides us into the new possibilities offered by a longer
life. She debunks the myths and misconceptions about aging that
stop us from adequately preparing for the future both as
individuals and as a society: that growing older is associated with
loneliness and unhappiness, and that only the genetically blessed
live well and long. She then focuses on other important components
of a long life, including finances, health, social relationships,
Medicare and Social Security, challenging our preconceived notions
of "old age" every step of the way.
