Thinking about a long life is very exciting indeed. It's also a new phenomenon. Fifty years ago, living into one's seventies was considered the mark of a long life. Today, seventy feels young, eighty feels normal, and ninety is within reach. Birsel believes this new horizon of life is as important and exciting as the invention of moving pictures. Or that of automobiles, or even space travel. Her point is, when a change this big happens, innovation follows.
This book is for everyone who is interested in defining their long life, using design thinking tools. It's an interactive book with exercises that will help you think creatively by asking you to visualize your life. It is full of insights learned from wise people who have lived the longest. It is organized into the four themes of Love, Purpose, Well-Being, and Friendship, and contains insights that will help you love better, find purpose, practice well-being, and make friends.
Drawing on Birsel's year-long codesign research with older people, Design the Long Life You Love offers readers of all ages--from those in their twenties and thirties just starting out, to those in mid-life looking for a change, to those in later life who are the experts for us all--thought-provoking questions, exercises for self-exploration, and interviews with innovative entrepreneurs and thought-leaders to guide them on their own journeys of crafting the next phase of life. Focusing on four keys areas--Love, Purpose, Well-Being, and Friendship--this book pairs life lessons from people who've lived the longest with design tools to help you plan your own long life, whether you're looking ahead to retirement, a home post-children, or starting a new project that makes you come alive. Playfulness is key to creating a long life, and readers will find that reflected in this joy-filled book. Whimsical, two-color drawings, illustrated interviews with thought-leaders, and interactive exercises will put you in the mindset of a designer as you foster creativity and explore what your own long life can look like. When it comes to our lives, we are our own innovators--so let's begin to learn how to do just that. Welcome to Design the Long Life You Love!Also from
