World Book Day
Dr. Seuss, renowned author of children’s classics like the Cat in the Hat or Green Eggs and Ham, summed up why books are so important to people:
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
And George R. R. Martin, the fantasy author behind A Game of Thrones, said:
“a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies… the man who never reads lives only one”.
This World Book Day, we at IMI News have been thinking about exactly that. We may live a thousand lives, learn more things and visit more places, because, in part, we've read a good book. But we also have more time, on average, to do it than ever before. People are living longer than our predecessors thanks to exceptional healthcare, varied and exciting diets, and the accessibility of exercise - amongst other things, such as financial security as a result of a carefully considered pension and an awareness of our financial wellbeing.
That’s why, if you’re struggling for a new book to read this World Book Day, we’re recommending The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity. Written by Lynda Gratton and Andrew J. Scott, The 100-Year Life breaks down the traditional, outdated structure of a ‘three stage life’ – of education, followed by work, followed by retirement. Instead, the authors argue that, in an age of increased life-expectancy, better and more concrete pensions, re-education and multiple careers, it is important to rethink your approach to finances, education and relationships to create an enjoyable and fulfilling 100-year life.
A book – a good book – is a way to live a life of scope and depth. So settle down in this award-winning bestseller, an accessible exploration of psychology and economics to learn how to make the most of life – before and during retirement.
