I’m recording the audiobook version of my new book, Longevity Nation! 📚🎧 Writing this book took me to the front lines of the New Longevity movement. I spent time with innovators, entrepreneurs, and scientists, and dug into the studies, technologies, and products that are reshaping what the second half of life can look like. Here’s some behind-the-scenes from the recording process. The audiobook is out in April, and you can preorder the physical book today: https://amzn.to/4qPpP6d

The expression "Age is NOT just a number" is a call to action. It is the number of years you've spent gaining wisdom, knowledge, and experience. Don't hide your number; own your age and turn your years into a badge of honor. We are living longer, healthier lives, and the new longevity requires us to Act on what's next to create cultural change. Let's make our lives bigger, not smaller, by showing up in numbers to be a powerful, dynamic FORCE for all generations! Are you IN? Share YOUR voice by filming your answers to the prompts. Post it using the hashtag #AgeisNOTjustaNumber and tag Grace Creative LA and ROAR Forward, the catalysts behind this crucial public service campaign. Let's ROAR!

Longevity Nation is five months old, and I'm happy to report it's still having the time of its life. This summer my book tour took me to six cities. Along the way, The Wall Street Journal reviewed the book, TIME excerpted it, and the Next Big Idea Club called it a "must read." But the best reviews have come from readers who tell me what it changed for them. This fall I'm taking the tour to seven more cities in the US and abroad, and I hope to see more of you there. Keep up to date here for details. If you've read it, thank you. If you've told a friend, thank you twice, and please tell another. If you haven't read it yet, there's time. That's sort of the point. https://amzn.to/4dozoUY #LongevityNation

Your job title is a rented seat. When it goes—retirement, restructuring, a layoff—suddenly the thing you've been using to describe yourself goes with it. Which is why I’ve always believed in building an identity with more than just your profession and title. I call it life layering and write about it in my book ROAR! You don't erase the old life to start a new one—you add a layer, and then another. There is no expiration date on starting. As I share with Barbara Hannah Grufferman here, you can become a writer in your 80s or so many other new directions. https://lnkd.in/gHFKpPuS

Cities have to keep evolving, innovating, and reimagining themselves to ensure their vibrant longevity as places where people of all ages can grow and thrive. My new Esquire magazine article on my hometown of Pittsburgh shows how the city shed its industrial skin to become a knowledge-based economy built on healthcare, higher education, robotics, AI, and more. Add a thriving arts and food scene, plus culture and sports, and you'll read about a city reimagined. It's in Pittsburgh's DNA—a place that has reinvented itself over and over since it was founded in the 1750s. Its current moment will inspire and surprise you.
