Story
Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we are all susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself.

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.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Mark Penn has boldly argued that the future is not shaped by society's broad forces but by quiet changes within narrow slices of the population. Ten years ago, he showed how the behavior of one small group can exert an outsized influence over the whole of America. His best-selling Microtrends highlighted dozens of tiny, counterintuitive trends that have since come to fruition, from the explosion of Internet dating to the recent split within the Republican Party. Today, the world is in perplexing upheaval, and microtrends are more influential than ever

Author David Brooks explores the four commitments that define a life of meaning and purpose: to a spouse and family, to a vocation, to a philosophy or faith, and to a community. Our personal fulfillment depends on how well we choose and execute these commitments. Brooks looks at a range of people who have lived joyous, committed lives, and who have embraced the necessity and beauty of dependence. He gathers their wisdom on how to choose a partner, how to pick a vocation, how to live out a philosophy, and how we can begin to integrate our commitments into one overriding purpose.

Pursue meaning, reject hyper-individualism

By: David Brooks
Publisher's Summary
Oldness: a social construct at odds with reality that constrains how we live after middle age and stifles business thinking on how to best serve a group of consumers, workers, and innovators that is growing larger and wealthier with every passing day.
Over the past two decades, Joseph F. Coughlin has been busting myths about aging with groundbreaking multidisciplinary research into what older people actually want - not what conventional wisdom suggests they need. In The Longevity Economy, Coughlin provides the framing and insight business leaders need to serve the growing older market: a vast, diverse group of consumers representing every possible level of health and wealth, worth about $8 trillion in the United States alone and climbing.
Coughlin provides deep insight into a population that consistently defies expectations: people who, through their continued personal and professional ambition, desire for experience, and quest for self-actualization, are building a striking, unheralded vision of longer life that very few in business fully understand. His focus on women - they outnumber men, control household spending and finances, and are leading the charge toward tomorrow's creative new narrative of later life - is especially illuminating.
Coughlin pinpoints the gap between myth and reality and then shows businesses how to bridge it. As the demographics of global aging transform and accelerate, it is now critical to build a new understanding of the shifting physiological, cognitive, social, family, and psychological realities of the longevity economy.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
Critic Reviews
"Joe Coughlin has proven that the time has come to create a new narrative of possibility in old age. In The Longevity Economy, he not only defines that better narrative - he shows businesses how to lead in creating it and how to profit from the opportunities it provides." (Jo Ann Jenkins, CEO, AARP)
"Joe Coughlin has done a terrific job exploding "old age" as a concept. The magnificent result - at once forward-looking, hilariously irreverent, and engaging - serves as an indispensable road map for how to take full advantage of life's ever-lengthening third act. As I've found among the world's longest-lived people, celebrating older people is a key ingredient. The Longevity Economy shows us how to harness the skills of the wisest people among us and help them - and everyone around them - live longer." (Dan Buettner, National Geographic fellow and author of The Blue Zones)
This book is classic Coughlin, complete with real-life examples too big to ignore and too interesting to forget. The Longevity Economy doesn't just make you rethink the role of consumer insights and trends, it forces you to re-imagine their impact." (Stephanie Linnartz, Marriott International Global Chief Commercial Officer)

A book by Boomers for Boomers.
Hardcover
I really, really tried to get through the audible book. As a Gen Xer, I have had the opportunity of observing Baby Boomers my entire life while not being part of them. I have gained such an acute sense from my observations over 50 years that I have developed what I like to call the Boomer Sense (BS). Well, my BS detector was pegged high while listening to this. So much so that I had to stop listening. It was like listening to my incoherent and reality challenged Uncle rant and ramble about the good old days. Although it does cite facts, it cherry picks the successes of the 20th Century as all due to the Boomers, while taking no accountability for the failures. For decades we have witnessed massive declines in wealth, record debt, collapse of morals, and decay of our institutions. It is just not coming from a fair or unbiased viewpoint.
It also completely ignores the fact the older people just dont make as much or spend as much (on a macro level) as they age. Their families are out of the house, many have lost their retirements, they are worried about healthcare, and they are downsizing and scaling back. To suggest they will be a "disruptive" force in the economy going forward is delusional and not rooted in reality.
This book is half cognitive dissonance and half of the Boomers ultimate denial of their own mortality.

Excellent explanation of our outdated narrative on aging
This book relays how historial events, policies, beliefs, and businesses have played into what is now a tired and even ridiculous view of what “being old” means, particularly being “retired”. The examples, stories, and facts and figures of this book create explanations and pose important challenges about our old age narrative. It emphasizes how companies and their products, as well as individuals, can and must reevaluate paradigms in order to not completely miss the boat in the longevity economy, meaning, fail in their attempts to market products and fail in contributing to the elimination of ageism which impacts us all.
Well-done! I learned a ton and am inspired.

A series of lightbulb moments
This book has lit me up like a Christmas tree. If you intend to get older – and most of us do – you need to read this book. It explains how we have been treading the wrong path towards old-age and how we can rescue this and create a new, brighter version of old-age that doesn’t see old people as a series of medical problems in need of solution.
