THE BIG 100: Uncovering the Keys to Longevity

(With a refreshed cover, a new subtitle, and other updates!)

Journalist William J. Kole, reluctant but newly minted member of AARP, explores the looming era of super-aging — incredibly longer lifespans overall, and eight times more centenarians by the year 2050 — through the lens of past, present, and future life at ages 50, 65, 80, and on to 100-plus. What happens to all of us when 65 is merely a life half-lived?

How long can we live? How long should we live? And what happens when 65 is merely a life half-lived? The Big 100 explores the most pressing questions of our super-aging future, and offers a glimpse of a reality that awaits us, our children, and our grandchildren.
