What does it mean to grow older today compared to 20 or 30 years ago? Developments in science and medicine over the past few decades have dramatically decreased the gap between life span and health span. ?
Today, 50% of the children born in 2007 are projected to live until 104. That’s an astonishing statistic. But is it a stat full of hope for everyone? That depends mainly on your mindset, not just genetics and health.
During COVID, Kim Lear, a leading generational research consultant, and trendspotter, and her colleagues set out to study the 55+ demographic during the pandemic. They wanted to capture the emotional state of this particular demographic hit hardest by COVID. ?
Their biggest surprise? Forced reinvention.
In an age of longevity, Kim shares her thoughts on:
? How society has neglected to create purpose-driven opportunities for a growing, aging population.
? How COVID served as a personal disruptor and societal accelerator.
? How forced self-reinvention among our aging population gave birth to a new “thrive span” – an indicator of how long you can live a fulfilling life.
Don’t miss this fascinating, timely podcast as Kim Lear sheds new light on the expression that age is just a number and explains why making life worth living will drive wellness, well-being, and healthcare in our future.
