The Sharing Economy
In his book, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, Robert Fulghum offers essential tidbits of wisdom most of us learned as children, including “Share everything.

The Retirement Age Myth
I was reading this article about retirement age, and how it has changed and is changing, and all I could think of was “What difference does it make?” Why, in this day and age, do we even have a “retirement age”? Maybe in the past, a particular age could be associated with a time […]
Breaking Free in Love, Life & Work
Articles about the higher rate of divorce among people post-50 seem to appear with some regularity. For example, I came across another one, “Gray divorces rising as more baby boomers opt to end marriages,” with nothing particularly surprising in it, of course.

What Is a Futurist?
One of the most common questions I get asked is, what is a futurist? (And the corollary, of course—what is an Everyday Futurist specifically?) Some people hear the word and think of psychics and crystal balls, but a professional futurist is not a psychic.
