As a member of Generation X, I've always questioned the traditional model of go to university, get a job that leads to gradual promotions, retire at 65-ish, live on pension and savings. It just didn't sound realistic with people living longer and fewer jobs coming with funded pensions.
The 100-Year Life looks at new models for Gen X, millennials, and beyond. It shows how our lives are unlikely to have linear progression and single careers. How we are going to be working longer to finance our longer lives. How we will need to be more flexible to stay happy and healthy.
I discovered that without the benefit of this book, I had mostly been doing what they recommend anyway. I've had a variety of careers, I'm a lifelong learner, and I'm trying to save up for a decrease in working income when I reach my 60s or 70s. But this…
What will your 100-year life look like?
Does the thought of working for 60 or 70 years fill you with dread? Or can you see the potential for a more stimulating future as a result of having so much extra time?
Many of us have been raised on the traditional notion of a three-stage approach to our working lives: education, followed by work and then retirement. But this well-established pathway is already beginning to collapse - life expectancy is rising, final-salary pensions are vanishing, and increasing numbers of people are juggling multiple careers. Whether you are 18, 45 or 60,…

The book combines our fondest memories of the books we grew up with, about human-like animals and their funny lives. But it considers what might happen if we found ourselves in their world. I expect this novel was inspired by books like Watership Down, Animal Farm, and Alice in Wonderland, but as though they were written by Stephen King!
Some of the secondary characters were two-dimensional and contrived, but the central cast was engaging and the plot kept me on edge to the surprising end.
Everyone has wanted their favorite book to be real, if only for a moment. Everyone has wished to meet their favorite characters, if only for a day. But be careful in that wish, for even a history laid in ink can be repaid in flesh and blood, and reality is far deadlier than fiction . . . especially on Addington Isle.
Winterset Hollow follows a group of friends to the place that inspired their favorite book-a timeless tale about a tribe of animals preparing for their yearly end-of-summer festival. But after a series of shocking discoveries, they find that much…
