Comments: Lynda Gratton, together with her colleague from the London Business School, continues her exploration of the future of work with this essay on the challenges and intelligent choices that all of us, of any age, need to make in order to turn greater life expectancy into a gift and not a curse. We need to move away from the three-stage approach to our working lives: education, followed by work, and then retirement since life expectancy is rising, final-salary pensions are vanishing and an increasing number of people are juggling multiple careers.
