ABOUT THE BIG SHIFT
As the first of 78 million baby boomers turn 65 this year, the discussion about longer lives in America has been entirely about the staggering economic costs of a dramatically aging society.
But in a game-changing new book – The Big Shift: Navigating the New Stage Beyond Midlife – Civic Ventures founder and CEO Marc Freedman argues that we’re having an extraordinarily hard time acknowledging the obvious: We’re clearly all getting older, but most of us are not getting old … at least not yet.
The Big Shift is an impassioned call to accept the decades opening up between midlife and anything approximating old age for what they really are – a new stage of life, an encore phase that constitutes something entirely new.
