The New Map of Life is a report published by The Stanford Center on Longevity of Stanford University. The findings of the report is this:
In the United States, as many as half of today’s 5-year-olds can expect to live to the age of 100, and this once unattainable milestone may become the norm for newborns by 2050. Yet, the social institutions, norms and policies that await these future centenarians evolved when lives were only half as long and need updating.
Basically, what is happening is that lives are getting longer but the only change is that we are tacking those additional years to the end of life and not adjusting any other phases of our lives.
Read the report and watch this short video, it will change your perspective. This is about living higher quality lives.
