520    "Long, productive lives are the destiny of most of us, not
       just the privilege of our great-grandchildren. The story 
       of aging is not one of steady decline and decay; we need a
       new narrative based on solid research, not scare stories. 
       Today Americans enjoy a new, healthy stage of life, 
       between roughly 65 and 79, during which we are staying 
       engaged in the workplace, starting new relationships and 
       careers, remaining creative and becoming entrepreneurs and
       job creators. We are in the midst of a major paradigm 
       shift in the way we live. Our major milestones are 
       shifting. The definition of "normal" behavior is changing.
       Today, we marry later or not at all; cohabitation is not 
       just a stepping stone to marriage, but a long-term 
       arrangement for many. Women often have their first child 
       in their 40s, and increasingly before they marry. People 
       enjoy active sex lives well into their 6th, 7th or even 
       8th decades. None of our institutions will remain the 
       same. People are working longer, and given the declining 
       birth rate, older workers will be in great demand. Four 
       generations are increasingly working side by side, 
       learning from each other. But we must ensure that the 
       benefits of long life are not limited to a wealthy few. 
       The Age of Longevity shows how we as a society can embrace
       the life-altering changes that are either coming in the 
       near future or are already underway. The authors give 
       readers a panoramic view of how they, the institutions 
       that affect them, and the country as a whole will need to 
       adapt to what's ahead. They offer strategies, based on 
       cutting-edge research, that will enable individuals, 
       institutions, companies, and governments to make the most 
       of our lengthening life spans. Using real life examples 
       throughout, the authors paint a picture of what our new 
       longer lives will look like, and the changes that need to 
       be made so we can all make those years both more 
       productive and more enjoyable"--provided by publisher.
