Whitman D: The Second Fifty

The Second Fifty

Answers to the 7 Big Questions of Midlife and Beyond

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

Practical Skills to Manage Stress, Bounce Back and Thrive at Work

Resilience

Global population aging is transforming how societies think about longevity, health, work, and financial security. As people live longer, responsibility for retirement is increasingly shifting to individuals and households, and the risks and rewards of longer lives are being reshaped in profound ways. 

The Future of Healthy Aging and Successful Retirement explores what these changes mean for healthy aging and successful retirement in the decades ahead. Surya Kolluri, Olivia S. Mitchell, and Nikolai Roussanov bring together leading experts from economics, public policy, and health sciences to examine how health, wealth, and work interact over the life-course. Contributors address a wide range of issues, including changing mortality patterns and healthspan, cognitive aging and financial decision-making, retirement income and pension design, healthcare and long-term care costs, caregiving, and the evolving role of older workers in a technology-driven economy. Across countries and institutional settings, the book highlights how individuals, employers, and policymakers shape outcomes at older ages. It also draws attention to widening inequalities in later life, particularly as lower- and middle-income households face growing uncertainty in preparing for retirement.

By combining new evidence with forward-looking perspectives, this volume offers a clear and accessible framework for understanding the challenges and opportunities of aging societies--and for promoting longer, healthier, and more secure retirements.

The Future of Healthy Aging and Successful Retirement

An open invitation to changemakers, educators, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in the creative economy to lean into this grassroots global community and help drive systems change. We live in an age where every convenience is a finger tap away, but historically marginalized communities and ecosystems are paying the price of unconscious consumption. Our current economic practices contribute to environmental damage, social injustice, and declining public trust. The solution, argues Stacey Edgar, social entrepreneur and executive director of the International Folk Art Market, is the artisan economy. In contrast to the profit-at-all-costs model of the mainstream economy, the artisan approach to production and consumption encourages creativity, preserves culture, and cultivates connection. In Artisan Economics, Edgar proposes a shift toward this artisan-centric model that prioritizes creativity, dignity, and community. Drawing on stories and research from around the world, she outlines eight core principles of the artisan economy—purpose, creativity, dignity, resistance, community, value, sustainability, and shared prosperity. She also shares a framework, called the Taproot Model of Systems Change, on which to enact these principles by restoring a vision of the economy as a living system. Ultimately, Edgar proposes, the artisan economy is a way to reconnect consumers with makers, foster sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and human-focused global economy. To create true connections across our global economy, we need a dramatic overhaul of what it means to work and what it means to consume.

Most of us have some investments in the form of pensions and other savings, but many are wary of investing directly in stocks and shares and fewer still understand the potential of the latest financial developments such as online trading platforms and AI. In Get Rich Slow international investor and prizewinning financial journalist Stephen Vines argues that if you inform yourself about the market and invest wisely, it's perfectly feasible for someone on an ordinary income to end up comfortably off. Aimed at ordinary investors who want to build wealth safely and steadily, this one-stop guide explains the jargon of investing from equities to derivatives and what to avoid in the form of excessive fees and the dangers of crypto. Showing you how to create a balanced portfolio of shares, bonds and other investments that can provide long-term wealth and weather the storms of financial turbulence, it creates a lifelong investment strategy that you can take into retirement and that can change as life changes.

The Guts to Grow

**This edition will be released in March 2027. If you want to get a copy ahead of then, have a look at our hardback edition, released in May 2026.** 'If you're worried about wasting your life, read this book.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind A ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in an age of AI. You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is the most important decision you'll ever make. Choose well, and you can have a more rewarding, interesting life, and also help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades. So what should you do? Most advice is based on no research, instead offering (misleading) platitudes like 'follow your passion'. It's surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI. And if you want to help others, the advice is even more simplistic: telling you to choose careers like nurse or doctor, when there are paths in which almost anyone can save more lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones. Benjamin Todd is the founder of 80,000 Hours, a non-profit that's spent over ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career. Here he introduces a tried-and-tested toolkit framework that has already led thousands of people to change their path. It covers:<ul><li>What really makes for a dream job, and why finding it probably doesn't involve 'following your passion'.</li><li>How to identify which global problems are most pressing, and why they might involve AI as much as climate change.</li><li>Which roles are likely to be automated, and how to ensure yours isn't among them.</li></ul> It's also full of practical tips and tools. You'll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way that's rewarding and fulfils your potential to make a difference. 'This career guide is among the most thoughtful and grounded I've seen.' Cal Newport, author of Deep Work 'A remarkably rigorous guide about how to find that perfect career for you.' Ali Abdaal, author of Feel-Good Productivity 'Based on evidence and good sense, not platitudes.' Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of our Nature 'The most informative book you can read if you're stuck trying to make one of life's most important decisions.' Hannah Ritchie, author of Not the End of the World
