About the Event
Join us for a conversation with author Michael Clinton exploring insights from his new book
Longevity Nation
, which shows how individuals and institutions are redefining the second half of life through science, reinvention, and purpose.
Michael is a leading thinker on the personal and business effects of the New Longevity era, serving as CEO and Founder of
ROAR
forward
and author of
ROAR Into The Second Half of Your Life
. In
Longevity Nation
, Michael offers both a practical guide and an inspiring manifesto for a generation ready to reimagine aging—and live with more purpose, vitality, and vision than ever before. This discussion will consider
research across geroscience, functional health, financial security, and lifelong learning to frame
the global rise of the New Longevity Movement and how it’s radically reshaping the second half of life.
Longevity Nation
dives into the 20 essential areas of life—from work and wealth to fitness, relationships, and sexual wellness—spotlighting over 200 Re-Imagineers: innovators, experts, and everyday individuals who are redefining what it means to thrive after 50. From L’Oréal’s “All Generations” workforce strategy to Singapore’s incentives for hiring over-55 workers,
Longevity Nation
reveals what’s happening now and what’s coming next.
As more people live into their 80s, 90s, and even 100s, traditional models of aging no longer apply—and a bold new roadmap is emerging.
