Twelve predictions on aging, identity, purpose, and meaning in an AI-shaped world.
A forward-looking briefing for high-performing professionals who sense that the next chapter of life deserves more intention.
It's becoming the longest, most self-directed chapter of adult life.
Longer lives, shifting careers, evolving definitions of purpose, and rapid advances in AI are changing what it means to age well. Financial readiness alone is no longer enough.
This report explores the deeper shifts shaping who we become next.
Inside the Act Three 2026 Trends Report, you'll explore:
Why identity is replacing retirement as the central question of later life
How psychological age is becoming more important than chronological age
Why longevity without meaning is creating a new kind of crisis
How AI is forcing a redefinition of human value
Why purpose is shifting from big reinventions to daily design
How healthspan, curiosity, and community shape fulfillment in Act Three
What the most intentional people are doing differently as they age
These are not surface-level trends.
They are identity-level shifts already reshaping Act Three.
This report is written for:
High-performing professionals nearing or in Act Three
Business owners thinking about what comes next beyond the business
People who are financially prepared but want the next chapter to feel meaningful
Anyone sensing that aging, when done intentionally, can be expansive rather than diminishing
