The Longevity Imperative

The Longevity Imperative by Andrew J. Scott explores the implications of increasing life expectancy and calls for a revolution in how we approach health, ageing, and the future. While the past century has brought dramatic gains in longevity, society often views longer lives as a burden rather than a gift, with ageing populations seen as increasingly dependent on fewer young people. Scott argues that longer lives can instead be a source of hope and fulfilment if individuals embrace the “evergreen agenda,” focusing on sustainable lifestyles that nurture health, finances, skills, relationships, and environmental responsibility, enabling us to thrive throughout a prolonged and meaningful life.
