I’m honored to be among the contributors to the 2016 “Future of Aging” anthology, a project of the Milken Institute’s Center for the Future of Aging, led by Encore.org board member, Paul Irving.

For anyone looking for a insight into the coming decades – and how we will all be affected by the longevity boom – there’s plenty of food for thought in these essays. Among the contributions is:

An article by AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins, on the Four Freedoms of Aging.
An exploration of purpose in aging by Templeton Foundation Executive VP Barnaby Marsh.
From MIT AgeLab director Joseph Coughlin, an analysis of the “five waves” of aging and the evolving role of technology
Bank of America Merrill Lynch Managing Director and Head of Global Wealth and Retirement Solutions Andrew Sieg’s essay on the competitive advantages conferred by longevity.
And a trio of pieces attesting to the power and world-changing potential of intergenerational connection – by Eisner Foundation CEO Trent Stamp; by Dr. Linda Fried, Dean of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University (and Experience Corps co-founder); and me.

The full collection includes provocative meditations on health, housing and the role of each person’s past in shaping our futures. I trust you’ll find the volume to be invaluable, as I did.
