How, within this milieu, a new group of 'perennials' must emerge: individuals who cannot be so easily defined by the pervasive metrics of age and experience or by simple inter-generational conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese post-generational perennials offer the promise of liberating us from the constraints of the accepted four stages of life model, therefore allowing everyone the chance to live a much more rewarding and fulfilling life. Guillén proceeds to unveil how this revolution will impact young people just entering the world of work, as well as those who are living and working longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"READERS INC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42096360685683,"sku":"9781788708999","price":175.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/Our.jpg?v=1721288686","url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.co.za\/products\/9781788708999","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
