Hello Friends,

Welcome to your favourite podcast, The Mostly Paperback Show, with me, Bangalore Sundar.

Today , we will discuss about the book " The New Long Life: A Framework for Flourishing in a changing world " by Professors  Andrew J. Scott and Lynda Gratton from London Business School.

This is a practical guide to how we can flourish as longevity and technology change our world.

Smart new technologies, Longer, Healthier lives. Human progress has risen to great heights, but at the same time it has prompted anxiety about where we're heading. Are our jobs under threat? If we live to 100, will we every really stop working? And how will this change the way we love, manage and learn from others?

One thing is clear: advances in technology have not been matched by the necessary innovation to our social structures. In our era of unprecedented change, we have not yet discovered new ways of living.

Drawing from the fields of economics and psychology, the authors offer a simple framework based on three fundamental principles ( Narrate, Explore and Relate) to give us the tools to navigate the challenges ahead.

The New Long Life is the essential guide to a longer, smarter , happier life.
