Description

"In this breakthrough book, Dychtwald explains how individuals, businesses, and governments can best prepare for a new era in which the priorities of our homes and nation will be set by the needs and desires of the elderly. He surveys how each of us must make individual decisions right now to "age-proof" our lives."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

America is becoming a "gerontocracy" and four outcomes are certain: 1. More of us will live longer than in any previous generation; 2. The epicenter of economic and political power will shift from the young to the old; 3. We will need to change our current mind set about how to spend our extra years of life; and 4. How we decide to behave as elders will, in all likelihood, become the most important challenge we will face in our lives.
