We’ve added 30 healthy years to life expectancy—yet most of us haven’t stopped to ask: What does that mean for me?
Whether you’re approaching retirement, navigating a career change, or simply searching for purpose, The Age Rebellion gives you the insight and practical tools to thrive.
This book empowers you to break free from outdated rules of ageing, take control, and design a future on your terms. It’s time to make a plan, reclaim your potential, and rewrite what’s possible.
What will you do with decades of extra life?
No one should sleep-walk into this next stage of life
It’s a Trap!
Society sold us a lie. Work hard, retire early, and accept that your best years are behind you—that’s the script we’ve all been handed. But that script is broken. Why follow rules written for a world that no longer exists, when your greatest decades could still be ahead?
The Age Rebellion is your manifesto to tear it up. Forget slowing down—this is your time to grow, reinvent, and redefine what ageing means. The rebellion starts now. Are you in?

‘As Shakespeare might have said, “To retire or not to retire that is the question”! Lyndsey Simpson’s book is the perfect primer for answering that question –and more importantly what to do about it! At age 91, it even gave me some new ideas!’

'Retirement bad! Living good! Refreshingly salty, unapologetically un-woo-woo, and totally inspirational.'

'Few things are as important now as how you age and what to do with those extra years that longer lives bring. This book will make you think hard about what you want to do and how to do it. Whatever your age you have more years ahead of you than past generations and need to age differently. Its time to join the age rebellion'

'At 50, I feel more energised, more curious and more driven by purpose than at any other time - and The Age Rebellion explains exactly why. Ikigai has taught me that meaning deepens with age, and this book gives us the roadmap to design a future that matches that truth. It tears up the old rulebook on "retirement" and helps you plan for the extra 30 years modern life now offers. A brilliant guide for anyone ready to rewrite what comes next.'

‘We’ve won the longevity lottery—yet we’re still living by a life script written for much shorter lives. Age Rebellion is a sharp, unsentimental wake-up call for anyone who suspects the problem isn’t ageing, but outdated assumptions about it. With clarity, evidence, and just the right edge, this book exposes how early we sideline experience, ambition, and relevance—and why that’s a colossal waste of human potential. This isn’t about ageing gracefully or embracing retirement chic. It’s about rewriting the rules for work, identity, and purpose across a 100-year life. Smart, timely, and quietly radical.’
