# Living the 100 Year Life (book)

**Type.** Forthcoming book (creative work / publication; mapped to `entityType: other`).

**Description.** A book by [[entity-lynda-gratton|Lynda Gratton]], slated for publication in **September 2026**, expanding on the themes of career longevity, the obsolescence of traditional career timelines, and strategies for building sustainable working lives. It is the long-form companion to the article distilled here and elaborates the [[concept-50-60-year-career]] paradigm.

**Enrichment caution.** The title appears in Gratton's own profile/posting ecosystem as an upcoming publication, but the *exact wording may vary* across mentions and prepublication metadata (also seen as 'The Living 100-Year Life'). Treat the precise title cautiously until confirmed against the published edition.
