The authors crafted this book as a contribution to a burgeoning global movement that challenges the traditional view of ageing: life beyond our 50th birthday can be seen as thesecond half of our adult lives rather than simply retirement and the final chapter of life.With life expectancy consistently rising, it's foreseeable that future generations will embrace centenarian lifespans. For instance, the International Center for Longevity, an NGO based in London, forecasts that one in every four girls born today in the UK will live to see her 100th birthday.

In 2020, over 100 million EU citizens were aged 65 or older, comprising a fifth of the total global population of centenarians. By 2050, this demographic will swell to almost onethird of the population.The prevailing notion of longevity, tied to the traditional retirement, suggests that life after sixty is a time of gradual social disengagement specially from productive contribution to society. This book advocates a fresh perspective, recognizing that life expectancy is hitting new highs and necessitating a re-evaluation of longevity. European, Japanese, and North American countries particularly feel the urgency to collaboratively shape a new vision for extending longevity.
