• THE NEW MAP OF LIFE: The Stanford Center on Longevity is creating a New Map of Life™ so that we can be mentally sharp, physically fit and financially secure throughout century-long lives filled with a sense of belonging, purpose and worth.

The possibility of living for nine, ten or more decades raises a uniquely twenty-first-century question: what are we going to do with our century-long lives?

Stanford Center on Longevity’s New Map of Life™ initiative aims to envision a society that supports people to live secure and high-quality lives for a century or more. This new initiative will research and define new models for education and lifelong learning, redesign how we work, advise new policies for health care, housing, the environment and financial security, and promote more intergenerational partnerships. It will also advance a new narrative, which redefines what it means to be “old” and values people at different stages of life. Media outlets, advertisers and the entertainment industry will play an important role in this effort by sharing stories and creating new imagery and content about longevity and aging.

Why do we need a New Map of Life?

The existing norms no longer work because they evolved for lives that were half as long. The traditional three-stage life course — education, work and family, retirement — is outdated. A new life course is needed that is more flexible and has multiple stages.

The New Map of Life: Six Principles to Guide Long Lived Societies

• 1- New roles and opportunities must be created so that people experience purpose, belonging, and worth at all stages of life
• 2- Education is a lifelong pursuit
• 3- Working longer will occur in multigenerational contexts
• 4- Money. Opportunities to earn and save must be available throughout life to ensure financial security
• 5- Advances in the science of aging must be distributed broadly in the population
• 6- Physical health and the prevention of disease is critical to achieving the promise of longevity
