Description:

In this breakthrough book, Dr. Ken Dychtwald, the leading authority on the aging of America, uses more than twenty-five years of study to explore how extraordinary demographic and economic shifts are causing the emergence of Age Power -- a powerful new maturity. The largest generation in history, the baby boomers, will now routinely live well beyond their eighties and nineties as the "new old," influencing all of our daily lives.
