DVD: Life's Third Age + BOOK: What Retirees Want + CD: 6 Interviews + BOOK/CD: Radical Curiousity |
What Retirees Want presents the culmination of 30 years of research by world-famous "Age Wave" expert Ken Dychtwald, Ph.D., and author and consultant Robert Morison. It explains how the aging of the Baby Boomers will forever change our lives, businesses, government programs, and the consumer marketplace. This exciting new stage of life, the "Third Age," poses daunting questions:
What new products and services will boom as a result of this coming longevity revolution?
What unconscious ageist marketing practices are hurting people – and business growth?
Will the majority of elder boomers outlive their pensions and retirement savings and how can this financial disaster be prevented?
What incredible new technologies of medicine, life extension, and human enhancement await us in the near future?
What purposeful new roles can we create for elder boomers so that the aging nations of the Americas, Europe, and Asia capitalize on the upsides of aging?
Which pioneering organizations and companies worldwide have created marketing strategies and programs that resonate with the quirky and demanding Boomer generation?
In this entertaining, thought-provoking, and wide-ranging book, Dychtwald and Morison explain how individuals, businesses, non-profits, and governments can best prepare for a new era – where the needs and demands of the "Third Age" will set the lifestyle, health, social, marketplace, and political priorities of generations to come.

BOOK/CD: Radical Curiosity
Part memoir/part storytelling, Ken Dychtwald dives deep to examine his own life in the context of his work, passions, and incredible breadth of experience to show readers his key to a meaningful, masterful and purposeful life. This is a process of learning, teaching, self-reflecting, and self-improving that never ends, no matter what stage of life one is at.
Dychtwald shares experiences not just of success and failure, but of the nuanced spaces between. From his working class roots in New Jersey to the cliffs of Big Sur and the pinnacles of the human potential movement; from launching his company Age Wave and collaborating with presidents to accepting profound personal loss and coming to terms with his own experience with aging, Ken Dychtwald’s Radical Curiosity is both a glimpse into a visionary's extraordinary world, and a guide for claiming a powerful vision of one’s own. And this book is, above all, a call to action to add more purpose, contribution and empathy to one’s life, regardless of age.
