Living a 'well-lived' life is about who we are and how we will be remembered.

Produktbeschreibung
Living a 'well-lived' life is about who we are and how we will be remembered. In this thought-provoking book, bestselling author Lyndsay Green urges us?all of us, regardless of age?to think about our life and legacy, and to consider how we might feel if we knew our life would soon be over. We assume that we'll have time to think about our legacy?to compose meaning for our life, to figure out its purpose, to make amends, to tie up loose ends. But what if we don't? Would our time on earth have made a difference to anyone or anything? What would we be leaving behind for those we love? What responsibilities would be left dangling? Living with an eye to a future without us both enhances our present and shapes our legacy. With this awareness, we can lead inspired and fulfilled lives. Green examines the multiple facets?both material and non-material?that form a legacy, from living a conscious life that makes a contribution to writing our wills and recording our lives. She intersperses stories about commonly shared struggles, such as how to align lives with values or write equitable wills, with eclectic tales about bequeathing tattoos and using legacy bots with artificial intelligence so our digital selves can live forever. The Well-Lived Life is for people of all ages, offering insights for everyone regardless of assets, because our one precious life could end any day. Green's findings underscore the fact that since we'll all be leaving a legacy?like it or not?we'd be wise to pay attention.

Autorenporträt
LYNDSAY GREEN is a pioneering sociologist who spent her career helping people use communications technologies for learning, working with groups as diverse as the World Bank, the National Film Board and the Inuit of Canada. She has turned her research skills and knowledge of new technologies to finding out what boomers should be doing to ensure they have a successful old age. The American textbook Computers and Information Systems calls Ms. Green an ?information agent of the future.? Peter Mansbridge interviewed Lyndsay for his CBC show One on One and had this to say about You Could Live a Long Time: "It's full of advice, really good advice, that you'll be grateful you took when you hit those golden-plus years."
