In the United States and beyond, 100-year lives will be common for those born today. Yet our institutions, economic policies, social and cultural norms have not kept pace. Through research, education/training, and out- reach, Stanford Center on Longevity helps shape individual, community and social choices to supportlives that are longer, healthier, and more rewarding. We envision a future in which all people, regardless of socio-economic status, can make the most of the advantages afforded by increased lifespan—resulting inlives infused at every stage with a sense of belonging, purpose, and worth. We can meet challenges that longevity creates, and make the most of the 100-year opportunity if we act now, guided by these principles:

• Celebrate age diversity as a net positive for societies — and the bottom line
• Align health spans to life spans
• Build financial security from the start
• Invest in future centenarians to deliver big returns
• Create longevity-ready communities
• Harness technological breakthroughs to transform the future of aging
• Distribute advances equitably, across the entire population
• Embrace life transitions as growth opportunities, not disruptions.
• Learn throughout life
• Work more years, with more flexibility
