Award-winning journalist and author William J. Kole will examine ways in which society is changing as many more of us reach triple-digit ages. How is this tectonic demographic shift changing society? What will it be like to live into our 100s in a world that still values youth over advanced age? And is there anything we can do today to ensure our extra tomorrows are worth living? Kole answers these pressing questions and others as he shares insights from his critically acclaimed book.
