Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Soon, old people will outnumber young people nearly everywhere in the world. This demographic fact presents challenges, but also massive opportunities. Experts estimate the so-called longevity market at $21 trillion. However, it will be impossible to reach for any business without a longevity strategy that accomplishes two things: resets your understanding of who is an "old person" and identifies and breaks down the systemic barriers that currently block the way. Stage (Not Age) provides the framework to show you how to create a longevity strategy.

Clear-eyed, practical look at a demographic trend that can't be ignored.

Provides a foundation for setting a long-term strategy and anticipating obstacles.

Resets how we think about and talk about age, much the way Moneyball reset how we think about and talk about talent in baseball.

The author has a unique combination of practitioner, academic, and policy expertise that bodes well for commanding the topic.

Audience: C-suite strategists, entrepreneurs, marketers, B-School (curricula), consultants.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Stage (Not Age) by Susan Wilner Golden is praised for its insights into the potential of the longevity market, urging businesses to shift focus from chronological age to life stages in understanding consumer needs. Reviews highlight its clear guidance and compelling arguments for tapping into the spending power of older demographics, suggesting the book as an essential resource for entrepreneurs and companies aiming to innovate within this robust growth sector. The refreshingly optimistic perspective presented serves as an invitation to view an aging population as a critical opportunity rather than a challenge.
