Living the 100-Year Life: How to build a career that lasts and a life you love

"'Each chapter is a treasure trove' - Carole Kauffman 'You'll walk away seeing yourself not as a stranger, but as a collaborator' - Daniel H. Pink How will you live your 100-year life? In a world of longer lives and constant change, work is no longer a single straight path. It is a fabric we weave – with threads of mastery, friendship, calm, intimacy, adventure, cooperation, knowing, and amplification. How we strengthen and reweave these threads will shape not just our working lives, but our happiness, health, and sense of purpose across a century. In Living the 100-Year Life, Lynda Gratton – acclaimed co-author of The 100-Year Life – offers a practical and deeply human guide to navigating this new reality. Drawing on global research, expert voices, and the stories of four fictional characters at different life stages, Gratton shows how to: · Discover what each of the eight threads can make possible for you · Strengthen the threads through reflection, action, and promises to your future self · Weave a working life that is resilient, meaningful, and uniquely yours This is not a book about extending life for its own sake. It is a book about living wisely across time – finding joy in friendships, resilience in calm, creativity in adventure, and purpose in work. Your 100-year life is still being woven. The threads are in your hands. P 2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC C 2026 Lynda Gratton"

"Bloomsbury presents Sink or Swim by Susannah Fisher, read by Deryn Edwards The world needs to adapt to climate change – but how? What are the key problems and hard choices that lie ahead for the global community? This book reveals all.

Should people be encouraged to move away from the coast? How can global food supplies be managed when parts of the world are hit by simultaneous droughts? How can conflict be handled when there isn’t enough water? Drawing on cutting edge research, interviews with experts, and practical examples from across the world, Susannah Fisher tells the story of the tough choices on adaptation that lie ahead, and looks at ways we can still have a liveable planet later in this century and beyond. Will we choose to sink or swim? C 2025 Susannah Fisher P 2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC"
