Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The New Long Life
Scott Andrew J. Scott · 2020
77/100
👍 Worth It
Scott and Gratton make a persuasive, accessible case that longer lives require a full rethink of how we structure work, money, and relationships — and the NER framework gives readers something to actually act on. The composite character sketches can feel a bit textbook-ish, and the book skips the harder questions around inequality and meaning-making. Still, it is timely, well-researched, and one of the smarter practical guides to navigating a longer life.
